[xsl] Complicated count() query - thanks
Subject: [xsl] Complicated count() query - thanks From: Zak McGregor <zak@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 25 May 2001 15:06:07 +0200 |
Thanks to all who responded to my question! Jarno's solution was the one I'm going with, thanks Jarno. Which I'll echo here, in case this helps anyone else too... <xsl:value-of select="count(/list/student[contains(translate(name, 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'), 'john')])" /> woudl give a count of all the students whose name has "john" in it somewhere. My mistake had been to put the path inside the translate, which now seems obviously stupid, ie: <xsl:value-of select="count([contains(translate(/list/student/name, 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'), 'john')])" /> I think I had ommitted the square brackets as well :( Thanks again all Cheers Zak -- ==================================================================== Zak McGregor http://www.carfolio.com - Specifications of cars online.
