dynamic URL

[coupes]

Hi, I'm having a bit of an issue here... Basically, what I want to do is to dynamically generate the path where my output files will be created.

I have the following xml file :

Code: Select all

...



<file>

  <filename name abv="dir1">Directory 1</name >

  <file>

    <filename abv="dir2">Directory 2</name >

    <file>

      <filename abv="dir3">Directory 3</name >

    </file>

  </file>

</file>



...

What I tried to do is to create a variable with the correct hierarchy (in that case : "/dir1/dir2/dir3") using concat() inside a for-each tag, but the result is a local variable. What I need is a global variable so I can use it to determine where my output files will go.

Code: Select all

...



<xsl:for-each select="//file">

  <xsl:variable name="currentFile" select="concat('/',filename/@abv)"/>                    

  <xsl:variable name="Path" select="$currentFile"/>

</xsl:for-each>



...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Having as input:

Code: Select all

<file>

  <filename abv="dir1">Directory 1</filename>

  <file>

    <filename abv="dir2">Directory 2</filename>

    <file>

      <filename abv="dir3">Directory 3</filename>

    </file>

  </file>

</file>

the following stylesheet

Code: Select all

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

  <xsl:variable name="path">

    <xsl:for-each select="//file">

      <xsl:text>/</xsl:text>

      <xsl:value-of select="filename"/>

    </xsl:for-each>

  </xsl:variable>

  <xsl:template match="/">

    <xsl:value-of select="$path"/>

  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

will give you

Code: Select all

/Directory 1/Directory 2/Directory 3
