RE: [xsl] Retaining value of a Global variable
Subject: RE: [xsl] Retaining value of a Global variable From: "Vivek Shinde" <Vivek.Shinde@xxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2004 14:01:42 -0400 |
Hi, I'll post it soon. I am trying to find simpler solution. Michael had suggested position() but since I may have the article(s) at any position, that would not work. I am trying with xsl:key. My main problem is: I have an XML that contains multiple articles for a newsletter. There could or could not be some articles with article-classification as 'Webcasts'. If I find even a single article with classification of 'Webcast', then I want to print a title 'Webcasts' and then list all the articles. I have done the code for listing the articles. The problem I am having is identifying if there's even one article of that classification and then print 'Webcast' title only once. That's why I was looking to set the global variable and then increment it once I hit the first webcast article and then go for listing the articles of that type. But it seems that's not possible. Therefore I am trying xsl:key. Any other input on doing it simpler way? The XML sample: <article> <class>News</class> <teaser>AAAAAAAAAA</teaser> </article> <article> <class>Webcast</class> <teaser>BBBBBBBBBB </teaser> </article> <article> <class>News</class> <teaser>CCCCCCCCCCC </teaser> </article> <article> <class>Webcast</class> <teaser>DDDDDDDD </teaser> </article> Thanks Vivek -----Original Message----- From: Wendell Piez [mailto:wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, July 19, 2004 11:05 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] Retaining value of a Global variable I'm going to leave this one aside for a bit. Until we hear again from Vivek, it's not clear to me that this is -- quite -- a standard grouping problem, due to the requirement to group according to string containment, not just string equality. It'd be much easier if we could see a representative example of the input. Vivek, could you post a bit of it, along with a restatement of what kind of output you want for your input? That way it's all in one email -- less to guess, less confusing to track. On the other hand, maybe our haphazard comments and hints have been enough to help Vivek find the solution on his own.
