Given the following structure, how to copy the first and the second nodes with all their elements from the document based on the predicate in XSLT:
<list>
<slot>xx</slot>
<data>
<name>xxx</name>
<age>xxx</age>
</data>
<data>
<name>xxx</name>
<age>xxx</age>
</data>
<data>
<name>xxx</name>
<age>xxx</age>
</data>
</list>
<list>
<slot>xx</slot>
<data>
<name>xxx</name>
<age>xxx</age>
</data>
<data>
<name>xxx</name>
<age>xxx</age>
</data>
<data>
<name>xxx</name>
<age>xxx</age>
</data>
</list>
How to select the first and the second occurence of data (without the data element itself, only name, age) from the list, where the slot is equal to a different variable, i.e the first list has the slot=02
, but I need the data from the second list, where the slot=01
. But it does not really matter the order of the list by a slot as long as slot=$slotvariable
.
I tried the following statement, but it did not produce any results:
<xsl:element name="{'Lastdata'}">
<xsl:copy-of select="list/data[position()=1 and slot = $slotvariable]" />
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="{'prevdata'}">
<xsl:copy-of select="list/data[position()=2 and slot = $slotvariable]" />
</xsl:element>
Any working suggestions would be appreciated
