I think I did a poor job of explaining what I'm trying to do.
I have two lists of jpg names: $jpg_few and $jpg_many.
I know that there are jpg names in $jpg_many that are not in jpg_few,
but that's okay, I'm not interested in them.
I'm trying to find what jpg names are in $jpg_few that are NOT in $jpg_many.
I thought I had tokenized $jpg_few and $jpg_many when I created them.
When I try to create a new variable by using a "not" expression with
$jpg_few and $jpg_many, I get an error message re: "A sequence of more
than one item is not allowed as the first argument of fn:tokenize()".
I tried doing string-join to $jpg_few and $jpg_many before putting them
in the expression but that didn't work either.
Here's the expression I'm trying to use to create a variable that shows
which jpg names from $jpg_few are NOT in $jpg_many.
<xsl:variable name="jpgs_in_xml_not_directories"
select="($jpg_few)[not(. = $jpg_many)]"/>
I think the problem is that I'm trying to do something with $jpg_few and
$jpg_many that I can't do because they're strings or something, but this
is where I get in over my head. Frustratingly, I used exactly the same
syntax with three different (but also tokenized) variables earlier in
the script and it worked fine.
Any assistance appreciated.
thx
