Newbie question - dynamic filter on attribute values
Subject: Newbie question - dynamic filter on attribute values From: "Super, Karen" <Karen.Super@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2000 11:58:42 -0600 |
I apologize if this has already been discussed, but I am new to XML and XSLT and have been reading some of the posts and haven't seem to come across my situation. I have data similar to the following: <book attr="1"> <title attr="10">This is the title</title> <chap attr="20"> <title attr="25">Chapter title 1</title> <para attr="26">This is a paragraph in the first chapter</para> </chap> <chap attr="20"> <title attr="25">Chapter title 2</title> <para attr="26">This is a paragraph in the second chapter</para> </chap> </book> I would like to initially filter out my document based on the attr values. I will be receiving an array of numbers that correspond to the numbers in attr. I only want those elements that match these numbers. For example, if I receive 25 and 26, I only want to work with the <title> and <para> elements. This array of numbers that I will be receiving will vary from request to request, meaning I may get a request for only 10 and 25, or just 26. I would like to somehow dynamically combine this logic into the following stylesheet, but I am not sure how to do it. <xsl:template match="chap/title"> <FormatScope> <Format> <ESC/>TB </Format> <Content> <xsl:apply-templates/> </Content> <Format> <ESC/>TE </Format> </FormatScope> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="para"> <FormatScope> <Format> <ESC/>PB </Format> <Content> <xsl:apply-templates/> </Content> <Format> <ESC/>PE </Format> </FormatScope> </xsl:template> The resulting XML would be: <FormatScope> <Format> <ESC/>TB </Format> <Content>Chapter title 1</Content> <Format> <ESC/>TE </Format> </FormatScope> <FormatScope> <Format> <ESC/>PB </Format> <Content>This is a paragraph in the first chapter</Content> <Format> <ESC/>PE </Format> </FormatScope> <FormatScope> <Format> <ESC/>TB </Format> <Content>Chapter title 2</Content> <Format> <ESC/>TE </Format> </FormatScope> <FormatScope> <Format> <ESC/>PB </Format> <Content>This is a paragraph in the second chapter</Content> <Format> <ESC/>PE </Format> </FormatScope> Using XSLT, is there a way to do what I am trying to accomplish? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Karen XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
