Re: [xsl] matching attribute values that are in range

["Mukul Gandhi" <gandhi.mukul@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeff,
  Please try this as well, and see if its useful for you.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />

<xsl:variable name="doc" select="document('file2.xml')" />

<xsl:template match="/root">
  <root>
    <xsl:for-each select="entry[(@n &gt;=
substring-before($doc/root/entry/@n,'-')) and (@n &lt;=
substring-after($doc/root/entry/@n,'-'))]">
      <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:copy-of select="@*" />
        <xsl:value-of select="concat(., ' ', $doc/root/entry)" />
      </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </root>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

This stylesheet is applied to the XML:

<root>
<entry id='1' type='t' n='1'>some text</entry>
<entry id='1' type='t' n='2'>some text</entry>
<entry id='1' type='t' n='3'>some text</entry>
<entry id='1' type='t' n='4'>some text</entry>
<entry id='1' type='t' n='5'>some text</entry>
</root>

For file2.xml as:

<root>
<entry id='1' type='t' n='3-4'>some text2</entry>
</root>

The output produced is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
  <entry id="1" type="t" n="3">some text some text2</entry>
  <entry id="1" type="t" n="4">some text some text2</entry>
</root>

Regards,
Mukul
