Oxygen XML Forum

Hello,

i have some xml files containing newspaper articles. Each xml has different tags but the most important is the tag <Texte> with the article itself (the other tags describe other information like the date, the title etc). There's an exemple of <Texte> (the texte is in french):

<Texte>
<P>Sur l&apos; Hermione, les affûts de canon étaient peints en rouge pour faciliter le nettoyage du sang des hommes après la bataille. La « frégate de douze » était armée de 26 canons de douze (les boulets pèsent 6 kg) et 6 canons de six (boulets de 3 kg). Elle était beaucoup plus légère, rapide et maniable qu&apos;un vaisseau taillé pour le combat avec 118 canons. A bord, l&apos;eau est rationnée à trois pintes par homme et par jour. Les vers et les charançons infestent les biscuits de mer. L&apos;absence de fruits et légumes frais rend le scorbut ravageur. La fièvre typhoïde, la petite vérole et la gangrène sont des maladies fréquentes. L&apos;hygiène est absente, le sommeil mauvais. Deux matelots alternent dans un hamac, souvent trempé, à l&apos;entrepont, espace confiné où vivent aussi les moutons embarqués vivants. Le capitaine prend soin de sa chair à canon comme d&apos;un cheptel : il lui faut assez d&apos;hommes vivants pour livrer combat. A cette époque, le service dans la marine est obligatoire - un an sur trois - dans les provinces maritimes du royaume. </P>
<P/>
</Texte>

So, i have the following problem. Can i search specific words? I want to search among all files, in the tag <Texte>, if exist the words provinces, deux, combat for example. What's the xpath for this? For a single word can i use the following? What about 3 or 4 words?

<xsl:if test="document(.)/Document/Article[1]/Texte = 'combat'">

Thank you for the help

You can use a predicate to test any number of conditions. Inside that you can use and, or, not to compose your logic. Please see a complete working sample below:

Hi,

i'm very interested in your solution. I have to test it today and i'll give you the results

Thank you very much!

So... that works perfectly, thanks! I have two questions if you can help me:

- The location of the tag <Texte> isn't always the same /Document/Article[1]/Texte in all files. So, can i use //Texte making the research sure?

- I wrote the following scenario in order to copy the Xml files that contain these sepcific words:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
exclude-result-prefixes="xs"
version="2.0">
<xsl:template match="file">
<xsl:if test="document(.)/Document/Article[1]/Texte[
contains(.,'combat') and
contains(.,'provinces') and
contains(.,'Deux')
]">
<xsl:result-document href="SCI/{@name}">
<xsl:copy-of select="document(.)" />
</xsl:result-document>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>



I make a copy of the whole document with
<xsl:copy-of select="document(.)" /> . But i want also make an export to texte, not for the whole document but only for the tag <Texte> (only its contents). How?

- How can i add an xslt expression that deletes the original file after copying it?


Thank you very much

Hi,

You can add more steps after the document function to select whatever you want from that document:

document('test.xml')//someElement[1]

The file system is not part of the XSLT data model so you cannot delete files from XSLT. It may be possible however to use/write an extension function to do that, check your XSLT processor documentation for the available extensions and/or how to create an extension.

Ok, i have now some useful information to continue the job! Thanks for the support.

Have a nice day

Hi again! What is the syntaxe for not? If i don't want a specific word inside? I tried some things but it doesn't work

<xsl:if test="/Document/Article[1]/Texte[
contains(.,'combat') and
contains(.,'provinces') and
contains(.,'Deux')
]">

where am i supposed to use ''not''? thanks!

You can find that in any XSLT documentation, including the specification.
For example:
not(contains(.,'combat'))
