Well, the Cookbook didn't help with this problem, or at least not that I saw.
So, my data (in part) is like this..
<xsl:if test="matches(normalize-space(//tv:program),$target)">
Would it be possible to do this with a key? For example,
[xsl] Matching for strings...

Well, the Cookbook didn't help with this problem, or at least not that I saw.
So, my data (in part) is like this..
<xtvd> ... <programs> <program id@="..."> <title> ... </title> <subtitle> ... </title> <description ... </title> ... </program> <program> ... </program> ... </programs> ... </xtvd>
(Yes, it's the ever-popular DataDirect TV listings from Tribune Media Services... I'm working with the data in its "native" xtvd structure, rather than doing the very long-winded transform to the more popular XMLTV structure.)
I want to find <program> elements whose <title> or <subtitle> or <description> might contain the string I've stowed in the variable $target. Something simple like
<xsl:if test="matches(normalize-space(//tv:program),$target)">
fails, since the first argument wants to be a node, not a sequence. I can't think of any better solution than looping through all the programs, looking inside, but with several thousand programs and several keywords to process ... I hope someone here can see a better way!
Would it be possible to do this with a key? For example,
<xsl:key name="$target" match="(//title[matches(.,$target)]) or (//subtitle[matches(.,$target)]) or (//description[matches(.,$target)])" use="../@id" />
Gee, that looks promising. Must be something wrong with it. I'll try it. Meanwhile, happy to hear other advice!
