Hi to the forum,
Firstly may I thank all that might be able to assist me with this problem I am currently having, Thanks!
What I am trying to do is get the results that match each common node of <icc-point-number> e.g. when I
query the XPath icc/icc-phases/icc-points/point-number to output point-number 1, I then want it to match the
XPath iso-point-details/de-isolation-history/icc-point-history-oid to the point-number e.g. this being the value
29 where the <icc-point-number> matches on this case 196.
The XML :-
<report-root>
<icc>
<icc-phases>
<icc-points>
<point-number>1</point-number>
<icc-point-oid>196</icc-point-oid>
</icc-points>
<icc-points>
<point-number>2</point-number>
<icc-point-oid>197</icc-point-oid>
</icc-points>
</icc-phases>
</icc>
<iso-point-details>
<isolation-history>
<icc-point-history-oid>15</icc-point-history-oid>
<icc-point-oid>197</icc-point-oid>
</isolation-history>
<isolation-history>
<icc-point-history-oid>29</icc-point-history-oid>
<icc-point-oid>196</icc-point-oid>
</Isolation-history>
</iso-point-details>
</report-root>
The XSL :-
<xsl:for-each select="icc/icc-phases/icc-points">
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block><xsl:value-of select="point-number"/></fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block><xsl:value-of select="../../../iso-point-details/de-isolation-history/icc-point-history-oid"/></fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:for-each>
Presently the output is
POINT NUMBER = 1 - ISOLATION HISTORY OID = 15
POINT NUMBER = 2 - ISOLATION HISTORY OID = 15
Required output
POINT NUMBER = 1 ISOLATION HISTORY OID = 29
POINT NUMBER = 2 ISOLATION HISTORY OID = 15
Presently the XML is generated by castor and I really don't want to touch it! I am sure that XSL can do what I am aiming at (hopefully) :)
Again any help that anyone may be able to assist on the matter is greatly appreciated....
Kind regards,
George Simpson
