How to create a list of nodes?

[kdavyd]

Hi all,

I have an XSL that selects arrays with a given @Code from my data XML (data_doc) like this:

Code: Select all

<xsl:if test="count($data_doc//Array[(contains(@Code, 'X1Y1') or contains(@Code, 'X2Y2'))])!= 0">

              <xsl:do_something />

</xsl:if>

Do you know if there is a way to output the list of array @Code names to a string (i.e. "X1Y1 X2Y2 X3Y3 etc...") - there can be arbitrarily many of them?

This is needed so I can call a JS function with that string as a parameter and form the test="..." query based on user input.
I've tried looking on the net, but haven't found any info on that topic

Thanks!

Can you use XSLT 2.0? If so you can use the matches() function
eg.
matches(., "X[1-9]+Y[1-9]+")

[jkmyoung]

Assuming all match:
<xsl:for-each select="$data_doc//Array/@Code">
<xsl:value-of select="."/><xsl:text> </xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>

Thanks, jkmyoung

The second option worked
