Subject: [xsl] Variable creation and scoping From: Andrew Kirkpatrick <ncam_tech@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2003 14:50:17 -0400 |
I want to create a number of variables from an external document in order to transform a different XML file, but the way that I thought to accomplish this was using for-each to cycle through the elements in the external document doesn't accomplish what I want because the variables seem to only exist within the for-each. My external doc. Over time, the values for the attributes of "c" will change. Note that not all instances of "c" attributes have values. If foo or bar are empty, no variable should be created: <a> <b> <c foo="3" bar="4"/> <c foo="" bar=""> </b> <b> <c foo="5" bar="3"/> </b> </a> I can generate the variables by entering the following at the top of the xsl for each variable, but I'd like to do it in a way that makes the variables global (or at least for a template) and in a way that will still work after the external document is updated. <xsl:variable name="c1"> <xsl;value-of select="document('external.xml')/a/b/c/@foo * document('external.xml')/a/b/c/@bar"/> </xsl:variable> Is there an easier/cleaner/better way to do this that will allow me to not edit the xsl when the xml file used to create the variables is altered?
