I have this kind of XSL
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="dataroot">
<xml><xsl:apply-templates/></xml>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="M_17">
<package id="{package_id}" cat="{cat}">
<nazwa><xsl:value-of select="nazwa"/></nazwa>
<xsl:if test="author"><author><xsl:value-of select="author"/></author></xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="www"><www><xsl:value-of select="translate(www,'#','')"/></www></xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="opis"><opis><xsl:value-of select="opis"/></opis></xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="img"><img><xsl:value-of select="translate(img,'#','')"/></img></xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="depends"><depends><xsl:value-of select="depends"/></depends></xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="conflicts"><conflicts><xsl:value-of select="conflicts"/></conflicts></xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="after"><after><xsl:value-of select="after"/></after></xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="replaces"><replaces><xsl:value-of select="replaces"/></replaces></xsl:if>
</package>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
but when there is in eg. depends 2 values which in this code will show
<depends>modload com1node</depends>
but I want to convert it by followed XSL to:
<depends>modloader</depends>
<depends>com1node</depends>
This should happened for: depends, conflicts, after and replaces
How to split this strings (if they occur in source XML) into simple ones (one in each line as I show in example)?
Part of Core XML

The XML does not match your XSLT: M_17
vs. Mnc_172
. Anyway, in XSLT 1.0 you need to use a recursive template to tokenize the contents. So try changing:
<depends><xsl:value-of select="depends"/></depends>
to:
<xsl:call-template name="tokenize">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="depends"/>
<xsl:with-param name="elemName" select="'depends'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
and add the following template to your stylesheet:
<xsl:template name="tokenize">
<xsl:param name="text"/>
<xsl:param name="elemName"/>
<xsl:param name="sep" select="' '"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($text, $sep)">
<xsl:element name="{$elemName}">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text, $sep)"/>
</xsl:element>
<!-- recursive call -->
<xsl:call-template name="tokenize">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text, $sep)" />
<xsl:with-param name="elemName" select="$elemName" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:element name="{$elemName}">
<xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
XSLT 2.0 has an easy function to tokenize strings, but in XSLT 1.0 you have to be more creative. The way I would usually attack something like this is with a recursive template which does something with the text before the first space and then calls itself recursively with the remaining text, stopping when it runs out.
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="dataroot">
<xml><xsl:apply-templates/></xml>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="M_17">
<package id="{package_id}" cat="{cat}">
<nazwa><xsl:value-of select="nazwa"/></nazwa>
<xsl:if test="author"><author><xsl:value-of select="author"/></author></xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="www"><www><xsl:value-of select="translate(www,'#','')"/></www></xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="opis"><opis><xsl:value-of select="opis"/></opis></xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="img"><img><xsl:value-of select="translate(img,'#','')"/></img></xsl:if>
<xsl:apply-templates select="depends | conflicts | after | replaces" />
</package>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="depends | conflicts | after | replaces">
<xsl:param name="text" select="concat(normalize-space(), ' ')" />
<xsl:if test="$text">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text, ' ')" />
</xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select=".">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text, ' ')" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The trick here is what we do with the text
parameter. Initially I'm setting it to concat(normalize-space(), ' ')
, which means the whole text of the target element with
- leading and trailing whitespace removed
- internal whitespace normalized to a single space character and
- one trailing space added
So $text
is initially word1-space-word2-space-...-wordN-space
Now at each step we create a new element with the same name as the original one and with the first word of $text
as its content. We then recurse, passing everything after the first space to the next step (i.e. word2-space-...-wordN-space
). Eventually we reach the point where $text
is just wordN-space
, at which point we produce an element for wordN
and then finish because substring-after($text, ' ')
is empty.
Note that
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text, ' ')" />
</xsl:copy>
will copy the namespace declarations that are in scope on the input element. This is harmless but you may consider it looks a bit messy. To avoid this you could use
<xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text, ' ')" />
</xsl:element>
instead.
