Re: InString filter in XSL

[Francis Norton <francis@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Christian,

Here's one way of doing it that works with James Clark's XT, and the
April 99 WD:

elAtt.xml contains:
--
<elAtt>
	<el att="aa, bb, cc">I want to select this</el>
	<el att="bb, cc">Or I want to select this</el>
	<el att="aa, cc">Or maybe I want to select this</el>
</elAtt>
--
elAtt.xsl contains:
--
<xsl:stylesheet indent-result="yes" default-space="strip" 
	xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0";>
	
<xsl:template match="/">
	<result>
		<aa>
			<xsl:apply-templates select="//el[contains(@att, 'aa')]" />
		</aa>
		<bb>
			<xsl:apply-templates select="//el[contains(@att, 'bb')]" />
		</bb>
	</result>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="el">
	att:'<xsl:value-of select="@att" />'
	value:'<xsl:value-of select="." />'
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
--
In windows I get this:
--
E:\xmlSchema>xt elAtt.xml elAtt.xsl
<result>
<aa>
        att:'aa, bb, cc'
        value:'I want to select this'

        att:'aa, cc'
        value:'Or maybe I want to select this'
</aa>
<bb>
        att:'aa, bb, cc'
        value:'I want to select this'

        att:'bb, cc'
        value:'Or I want to select this'
</bb>
</result>
--

All the best,

Francis.

Air Rage - a "flight *and* fight" reaction?
