I have an XML file where the number are comma-separated
<foo>
<bar val="1,23"/>
<bar val="4,56"/>
<bar val="7,89"/>
</foo>
I would like to make a sum over /foo/bar/@val
values in XSLT, but I am a bit stuck the formatting. Does anyone knows what would be the proper syntax?
I am guessing, that the value specified in a "val"
attribute is a number that has comma instead of a decimal point.
Several solutions are possible:
I. XSLT 1.0
This transformation:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:ext="http://exslt.org/common"
>
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<!-- -->
<xsl:template match="foo">
<xsl:variable name="vrtfBars">
<xsl:for-each select="bar">
<bar val="{translate(@val, ',', '.')}"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<!-- -->
<xsl:value-of select=
"sum(ext:node-set($vrtfBars)/*/@val)"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
when applied on the originally-provided XML document:
<foo>
<bar val="1,23"/>
<bar val="4,56"/>
<bar val="7,89"/>
</foo>
produces the wanted result:
13.68
II. XSLT 2.0
This transformation:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
exclude-result-prefixes="f xs"
>
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<!-- -->
<xsl:template match="foo">
<xsl:sequence select=
"sum(bar/@val/number(translate(., ',', '.')))"
/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
when applied on the same XML document, produces the same correct result:
13.68
III. FXSL 2.x
This transformation:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:f="http://fxsl.sf.net/"
xmlns:my="my:fun"
exclude-result-prefixes="my f xs"
>
<xsl:import href="../f/func-transform-and-sum.xsl"/>
<!-- -->
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<!-- -->
<xsl:template match="foo">
<xsl:sequence select=
"sum(
f:transform-and-sum(my:makeNum(), bar/@val )
)"
/>
</xsl:template>
<!-- -->
<xsl:function name="my:makeNum" as="xs:double">
<xsl:param name="psNum" as="xs:string"/>
<!-- -->
<xsl:sequence select="number(translate($psNum, ',', '.'))"/>
</xsl:function>
<!-- -->
<xsl:function name="my:makeNum" as="element()">
<my:makeNum/>
</xsl:function>
<!-- -->
<xsl:template match="my:makeNum" as="xs:double" mode="f:FXSL">
<xsl:param name="arg1" as="xs:string"/>
<!-- -->
<xsl:sequence select="my:makeNum($arg1)"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
when applied on the same XML document produces the same correct result:
13.68
The last solution is more flexible and can be used successfully when a more complex transformation of the values is needed before summing.
Assuming the same as Dimitre, that you mean that comma is used as a decimal separator, not as a separator for list of integers.
Pure XSLT 1.0 without EXSLT node-set extension:
<xsl:template match="foo">
<xsl:call-template name="sum">
<xsl:with-param name="node" select="bar[1]"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="sum">
<xsl:param name="node"/>
<xsl:param name="sum" select="0"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$node">
<xsl:call-template name="sum">
<xsl:with-param name="node" select="$node/following-sibling::bar[1]"/>
<xsl:with-param name="sum" select="$sum + translate($node/@val, ',', '.')"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$sum"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
I feel like I say this a lot, but it bears repeating: the whole point of XML is that it provides data in an easily parsable form. XML that contains data that can't be parsed as XML makes no sense; if at all possible, you should either fix your XML or use a different format.
