Subject: RE: [xsl] Can you embed a filter test ahead of the format-number function in the xsl:value-of method From: jdgarrett@xxxxxxxxxx Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2001 12:36:54 -0600 |
Joerg I would try your suggestion but I should have added that there are other things I need to do inside the for-each so the filter on the for-each would restrict the availability of the returned result set .... <xsl:for-each select="NodeSomething"> . . . <!-- do some other xslt things with all the other nodes and their attributes... etc --> . . . <!-- just format the value of attribute2 if in face attribute2 is non blank --> <xsl:if test="./@attribute2 != ''"> <xsl:value-of select="format-number(./@attribute2,"#,###.00")"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> therefore... I need a less code bloat filter on attribute2 when it comes time in the syntax to begin working with attribute2.... <xsl:for-each select="NodeSomething"> . . . <!-- do some other xslt things with all the other nodes and their attributes... etc --> . . . <!-- just format the value of attribute2 if in face attribute2 is non blank --> <xsl:value-of select="[./@attribute2 != '']format-number(./@attribute2,"#,###.00")"/> </xsl:for-each> |-----Original Message----- |From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |[mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jörg Heinicke |Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2001 3:07 PM |To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |Subject: Re: [xsl] Can you embed a filter test ahead of the |format-number function in the xsl:value-of method | | |Why not adding this filter directly to for-each? | |<xsl:for-each select="NodeSomething[@attribute2 != '']"> | <xsl:value-of select="...."/> |</xsl:for-each> | |Joerg | |jdgarrett@xxxxxxxxxx wrote: | |> Given the following XML snippet |> |> |> <NodeSomething attribute1="1234" attribute2="3">5678</NodeSomething> |> <NodeSomething attribute1="12" attribute2="">Abc</NodeSomething> |> <NodeSomething attribute1="1256" attribute2="45">456</NodeSomething> |> <NodeSomething attribute1="1298" attribute2="">8899</NodeSomething> |> |> I would like to change the following XSLT (which works but is code bloat) |> |> <xsl:for-each select="NodeSomething"> |> <xsl:if test="./@attribute2 != ''"> |> <xsl:value-of select="format-number(./@attribute2,"#,###.00")"/> |> </xsl:if> |> </xsl:for-each> |> |> |> to the following (so that I can optimize the code) |> |> <xsl:for-each select="NodeSomething"> |> <xsl:value-of select="[./@attribute2 != |> '']format-number(./@attribute2,"#,###.00")"/> |> </xsl:for-each> |> |> |> is it possible to embed a filter test ahead of the format-number |function in |> the xsl:value-of so |> that if the filter test was true then and only then it would call the |> format-number |> function on the selected attribute rather than doing the xsl:if test and |> then |> calling the xsl:value-of method ?? |> |> As you know, if attribute2 is empty then I get a NaN which format-number |> returns NaN |> rather than just nothing .... |> |> Please advise |> Thank You |> JGarrett |> |> |> |> |> XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list |> |> |> | | |-- | |System Development |VIRBUS AG |Fon +49(0)341-979-7435 |Fax +49(0)341-979-7409 |joerg.heinicke@xxxxxxxxx |www.virbus.de | | | XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list | XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
