Subject: RE: HELP ME! Getting xml filename and node path from diffrent xml doc ument. From: "Carlberg, Anders" <Anders.Carlberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2000 20:06:07 +0200 |
Hi Oliver. First, Thanks for your reply. Here a are a example. First document contains this: (doc1.xml) <xml> <textbox> <name>name</name> <value>/xml/adressbook/entry/name</value> </textbox> </xml> Second documnet: (doc2.xml) <xml> <adressbook> <entry> <name>Anders Carlberg</name> </entry> <adressbook> </xml> Note that the value text() in doc1.xml is the "path" to the name in doc2.xml. My question is. How can i use a xsl to get a result that would look somthing like this. <xml> <textbox name="name" value="Anders Carlberg" /> </xml> What im looking for is a way to read the "path" in doc1.xml and use it to get the value from doc2.xml. This is my problem. Im using Xalan today, but it dosen't matter what i use. (Xalan implements xsl and xpath spec i think). I havent used saxon at all, so im going to take a look now.

It's a little bit difficult to guess what your documents actually look like. Maybe an example would be very helpful. It's no problem to open and read an other XML document via the document function. The parameter (the file name) can be obtained from your XML source. Your second question seems to be more problematic. Am I right in assuming that the XPath expression is part of your XML source? Something like <root> <expression path="/foo/bar[@att='value']" /> </root> XSLT doesn't have a facility to evaluate XPath expressions dynamicly, i.e. they must be a static part of the stylesheet. The Saxon processor provides an extension function saxon:evaluate() that closes this gap. http://users.iclway.co.uk/mhkay/saxon/extensions.html#evaluate Hope this helps, Oliver /-------------------------------------------------------------------\ | ob|do Dipl.Inf.
