XSLT Select all nodes containing a specific substr

2020-01-31 11:49发布

I'm trying to write an XPath that will select certain nodes that contain a specific word. In this case the word is, "Lockwood". The correct answer is 3. Both of these paths give me 3.

count(//*[contains(./*,'Lockwood')])
count(BusinessLetter/*[contains(../*,'Lockwood')])

But when I try to output the text of each specific node

//*[contains(./*,'Lockwood')][1]
//*[contains(./*,'Lockwood')][2]
//*[contains(./*,'Lockwood')][3]

Node 1 ends up containing all the text and nodes 2 and 3 are blank.

Can some one please tell me what's happening or what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks.

But when I try to output the text of each specific node

//*[contains(./*,'Lockwood')][1] 
//*[contains(./*,'Lockwood')][2] 
//*[contains(./*,'Lockwood')][3] 

Node 1 ends up containing all the text and nodes 2 and 3 are blank

This is a FAQ.

//SomeExpression[1]

is not the equivalent to

(//someExpression)[1]

The former selects all //SomeExpression nodes that are the first child of their parent.

The latter selects the first (in document order) of all //SomeExpression nodes in the whole document.

How does this apply to your problem?

//*[contains(./*,'Lockwood')][1]

This selects all elements that have at least one child whose string value contains 'Lockwood' and that are the first such child of their parent. All three elements that have a text node containing the string 'Lockwood' are the first such child of their parents, so the result is that three elements are selected.

//*[contains(./*,'Lockwood')][2]

There is no element that has a child with string value containing the string 'Lockwood' and is the second such child of its parent. No nodes are selected.

//*[contains(./*,'Lockwood')][3]

There is no element that has a child with string value containing the string 'Lockwood' and is the third such child of its parent. No nodes are selected.

Solution:

Use:

(//*[contains(./*,'Lockwood')])[1]
(//*[contains(./*,'Lockwood')])[2]
(//*[contains(./*,'Lockwood')])[3]

Each of these selects exactly the Nth element (N = {1,2,3}) selected by //*[contains(./*,'Lockwood')], correspondingly: BusinesLetter, Recipient and Body.

Remember:

The [] operator has higher priority (precedence) than the // abbreviation.
