I'm sure this is an easy one but i'm just not to see the wood for the trees.
I'm having an XML that look like this:
<root>
<profil>
<e1 a="2">1</e1>
<m1 a="3">1</m1>
<e2 a="4">1</e2>
<m2 a="5">1</m2>
</profil>
<profil>
<e1 a="5">1</e1>
<m1 a="3">1</m1>
<e2 a="4">1</e2>
<m2 a="4">1</m2>
</profil>
<profil>
<e1 a="7">1</e1>
<m1 a="7">1</m1>
<e2 a="4">1</e2>
<m2 a="2">1</m2>
</profil>
</root>
Now I want to know how many /m*/@a are equal to e*/@a per /profil. So I came up with the following XSLT:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element name="root">
<xsl:for-each select="/root/profil">
<xsl:element name="count">
<xsl:value-of select="count(*[contains(name(), 'm') and ./@a = //*[contains(name(),'e')]/@a])"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
But the result is wrong:
<root>
<count>1</count>
<count>1</count>
<count>2</count>
</root>
It should be
<root>
<count>0</count>
<count>1</count>
<count>1</count>
</root>
Does anyone has a suggestion what I'm doing wrong?
Replace the XPath with the correct one, which is:
<xsl:value-of select="count(*[substring(name(),1,1)='m'
and ./@a = ../*[substring(name(),1,1)='e']/@a])"/>
I've used substring
to match the first attribute character in place of contains
which matches any character in a string.
I think this is what you need
count(*[contains(name(), 'm') and (@a = parent::*/*[contains(name(),'e')]/@a)])
Using this in your XSLT
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element name="root">
<xsl:for-each select="/root/profil">
<xsl:element name="count">
<xsl:value-of select="count(*[contains(name(), 'm') and (@a = parent::*/*[contains(name(),'e')]/@a)])"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
produces the desired output
<root>
<count>0</count>
<count>1</count>
<count>1</count>
</root>
Use (with current node any profil
element):
count(*[starts-with(name(),'m')
and
@a = ../*[starts-with(name(),'e')]/@a
]
)
And the complete XSLT code:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="profil">
<count>
<xsl:value-of select=
"count(*[starts-with(name(),'m')
and
@a = ../*[starts-with(name(),'e')]/@a
]
)
"/>
</count>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
when applied on the provided XML document:
<root>
<profil>
<e1 a="2">1</e1>
<m1 a="3">1</m1>
<e2 a="4">1</e2>
<m2 a="5">1</m2>
</profil>
<profil>
<e1 a="5">1</e1>
<m1 a="3">1</m1>
<e2 a="4">1</e2>
<m2 a="4">1</m2>
</profil>
<profil>
<e1 a="7">1</e1>
<m1 a="7">1</m1>
<e2 a="4">1</e2>
<m2 a="2">1</m2>
</profil>
</root>
produces the wanted, correct result:
<count>0</count>
<count>1</count>
<count>1</count>
