Re: [xsl] Running xsltproc does not produce any output

["ohaya ohaya@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Hi Liam,
I was going to post earlier, but I'm still tied up working this, but I think
I've made some progress...
I was able to set a variable as follows:


<xsl:template match="/syslog/audit_record/ExtraDetails">

B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <ExtraDetails>

<xsl:variable name="incomingExtraDetails" select="." />
<xsl:message> VARIABLE incomingExtraDetails=[<xsl:value-of
select="$incomingExtraDetails"/>] </xsl:message>


<xsl:variable name="before-tab" select=" substring-before(
substring-after($incomingExtraDetails, '='), '[Tab]' ) " />

<xsl:variable name="after-tab" select=" substring-before(
substring-after($incomingExtraDetails, '[Tab]'), ';') " />

B B B B B B B  <xsl:message>The password strings from incoming
XML...</xsl:message>
B B B B B B B  <xsl:message>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  before: <xsl:value-of select="$before-tab" />
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  after: <xsl:value-of select="$after-tab" />
B B B B B B B  </xsl:message>

.
.
.
Next/now, I am trying to figure out how to modify the <ExtraDetails> value to
overwrite the "Command=abcdef$[Tab]abcdef$'.... to redact the "abcdef$"
strings....
If/when I can get that working I will post more info...
Thanks for your help!!
Jim

You could add,
<xsl:param name="input" />
here.

Then call xsltproc (for example) with input="...."

Then use instead of xsl:copy, use apply-templates with a mode, but i
can't say much more without knowing the modification you need.
