[xsl] Xpath Syntax Issue
Subject: [xsl] Xpath Syntax Issue From: Nathan Tallman <ntallman@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 23 Jun 2012 15:48:46 -0400 |
I'm trying to remove an entire element, if the value of one of its child elements equals x. XML Input example: <pets> <animal> <species>fish</species> <environment>bowl</environment> </animal> <animal> <species>cat</species> <environment>house</environment> </animal> </pets> XSLT Goal: Remove all animal elements if species=fish XML Output desired: <pets> <animal> <species>cat</species> <environment>house</environment> </animal> </pets> Here's my current XSL: <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:ead="urn:isbn:1-931666-22-9" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" exclude-result-prefixes="xsl ead xlink xsi" version="1.0"> <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/> <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> <!-- Standard copy --> <xsl:template match="*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="pets/animal/species[text()='fish']"/> </xsl:stylesheet> But all my outputs still have fish. I'm using XSLT 1.0 and I'm having a problem with the xpath, I think. My XML reference book is at work, and I can't quite get the xpath syntax right, can someone point out my error? Many thanks, Nathan
