XSL1.0 Generate Ascending Seq #

SnowranCruzick · Post by **SnowranCruzick** » Fri Nov 11, 2022 12:58 pm

I'm using XSL1.0. My editor/debugger is OxygenXML with Saxon (OxygenXML can't debug with MSXML) and it will deployed to work with a 3rd party app that only uses MSXML. This means I can't use a variable containing a nodeset if I want to be able to debug.

The problem could probably be expressed as how to sequentially number output of the following -

<xsl:for-each select="node1">
<xsl:variable name="current_ID" select="ID">
<xsl:for-each select="sub_node1">
<xsl:value-of select="../ID"/>-<xsl:value-of select="Sub_ID"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
understanding that I cannot simply use this in my scenario:

<xsl:for-each select="node1/sub_node1">
<xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
</xsl:for-each>
Below is a manufactured example that shows the problem I'm trying to solve as part of a much larger XSL/XML combo. I basically need to create manufacturing instructions. All nodes in the XML with the exception of products/versions (by qty) are in the correct order and I cannot change it. I need to generate the same set of sequential numbers from 3 different XSL's. My current context will always be shipments/deliveries/delivery_products (i.e. my XSL has to process the nodes in the seq shown). I need to produce a list of products sorted by version qty and their deliveries. Each row should have a sequential no (1-4) in example below

<shipments>
<product>
<name>Product 1</name>
<prod_id>P1</prod_id>
<version>
<version_id>P1_V1</version_id>
<qty>8800</qty>
</version>
<version>
<version_id>P1_V2</version_id>
<qty>1100</qty>
</version>
<version>
<version_id>P1_V3</version_id>
<qty>100</qty>
</version>
</product>
<product>
<name>Product 2</name>
<prod_id>P2</prod_id>
<version>
<version_id>P2_V1</version_id>
<qty>5000</qty>
</version>
<version>
<version_id>P2_V2</version_id>
<qty>5000</qty>
</version>
<version>
<version_id>P2_V3</version_id>
<qty>2000</qty>
</version>
</product>
<deliveries>
<del_id>1</del_id>
<destination>Miami</destination>
<delivery_products>
<version_id>P1_V1</version_id>
<qty>8000</qty>
</delivery_products>
<delivery_products>
<version_id>P2_V1</version_id>
<qty>5000</qty>
</delivery_products>
</deliveries>
<deliveries>
<del_id>2</del_id>
<destination>New York</destination>
<delivery_products>
<version_id>P1_V1</version_id>
<qty>800</qty>
</delivery_products>
<delivery_products>
<version_id>P2_V2</version_id>
<qty>1000</qty>
</delivery_products>
</deliveries>
Expected output is below. Note seq # starts from 1 and counts up to 4

<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="col_head">
Seq
</td>
<td class="col_head">
Version
</td>
<td class="col_head">
Destination
</td>
<td class="col_head">
Qty
</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tr>
<td colspan="4" class="rev_heading">Product 1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>P1_V1</td>
<td>Miami</td>
<td>8000</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2</td>
<td>P1_V1</td>
<td>New York</td>
<td>800</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="4" class="rev_heading">Product 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3</td>
<td>P2_V1</td>
<td>Miami</td>
<td>5000</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>4</td>
<td>P2_V2</td>
<td>New York</td>
<td>5000</td>
</tr>
</table>
Here's my XSL so far (just stuck a position() in for a place holder for the seq #)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">

<xsl:template match="shipments">

<head>
<title>Seq Test</title>

<style type="text/css">
table {border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse;}
td {border: 1px solid black; padding: 1px 5px 1px 5px;}
.col_head {font-weight: 600;}
.rev_heading {color: red; text-align: center; padding-top: 15px;}
</style>
</head>
