Subject: [xsl] RE: Can I generate position() values for nodes I reference by key()? From: "mwebster" <mwebster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2005 11:28:55 -0800 |
I have an XML document with three basic parts. Part one lists all my available probes and their related information. Each probe has a unique ID as an attribute: <probe uid="i_QC.20.5prime_factory" name="QC 5prime"> Part two describes where these various probes get positioned on a grid: <probeAssignment electrodeIndex="1" assignedProbe="i_QC.20.5prime_factory"/> Part three lists data for all the possible locations on the grid: <stats index="12543" elementName="e12543"> My task is to change this XML into a spreadsheet with one line for each grid location with information about the stats and what probe they relate to. I was doing this by using a for-each to go through the whole probeAssignment section until it found a probeAssigment/@electrodeIndex that matched the current stats/@index. Then I used probeAssignment/@assignedProbe in a similar manner to find the proper probe/@name and various other bits of probe information. As you can imagine, this was very time consuming, so I switched to using the key() function and got wonderful improvements in speed. However, the one thing the for-each business did get me was the position of each particular <probe> in the list of probes, which is a piece of information I am asked to display but that does not appear anywhere in the XML. So I have these lines: <xsl:key name="electrodeIndexKey" match="/pd:chipDesign/pd:layout/pd:microarray/pd:probeAssignment" use="@electrodeIndex"/> <xsl:key name="uidKey" match="/pd:chipDesign/pd:oligoList/pd:probe" use="@uid"/> And was hoping I could do something like this: <xsl:key name="positionKey" match="/pd:chipDesign/pd:oligoList/pd:probe" use="position()"/> Does anyone have a suggestion on who I could so something like this?
