Our price codes are kept in Price. You can open as many documents as you need. Now we can query this node to extract a price for a particular code using XPath. Below is a snippet of our XSLT template that will put all of this together. Sometimes, this can be challenging if the source data is in multiple documents.
Are you using XML? Have you implemented XML applications successfully? Does XML still have you tied in knots? Tell us the good and the bad. Send us an e-mail with your thoughts and experiences or post a comment below. Editor's Picks. Let me know if there is any other information you require. God Bless, Genesius. Since you are going to be on a Windows machine, I would suggest downloading msxsl.
From your description, I would think that a combination of batch scripting using msxsl might serve you best. Time will tell. DLL that is already on your system. Don't dive in to those yet. Let's wait until you have a better specification, and then you can use the tutorials a bit more efficiently.
So it seems like you do not want all of the data that is in each XML document. Or do you? If you want the data from a limited set of elements then we would use one technique. If there are an unlimited, or at least unknown, number of elements from which you are harvesting data, then another technique would be better. I also note the following: QtyA, DscntA,12 QtyB In these name-value pairs, it seems like the name is some sort of mash-up derived from the parent element e.
Do you have an algorithm for this mash-up? Tom Morrison Hill Country Software. Tom, I was out yesterday; dental appointment. I am going to check what you wrote now and I will post what I find. Tom, Again, thank you so much for your help. Where I work they lock down everything. When I did a search for msxml. I have another question for you, if I may. At home, I have Vista If I can get this to work at home, I can use as a proof of concept to my manager to have the IT dept unlock my PC and install the necessary bits on it.
Thanks in advance. Hi Genesius, I was at a business meeting all day today. I think I understand why you have such a lock-down situation. I did some cybersleuthing on another social site, where we are actually a 3rd level connection possibility.
Go figure! So I understand that your examples are also not precisely what you are really dealing with. DLL is installed if Internet Explorer of any recent vintage is installed. However, in your lock-down situation, you may not even have IE installed. MSXML is a generic name; look for msxml4. The one thing you will have to install is msx s l. Try to make your examples as close to your actual requirements as possible. That will help me get to the point exactly without too much wasted misdirection.
I think this is going to be easier than you ever imagined. Tom, Perhaps we can connect on that network if you want. As you know then I cannot give too detailed info; however, here is a bit more that I can let you know. We used to receive this data in text files for each "member" processed by the third party.
Now they send us this yearly data in XML files. You can find the schemas by going to their website not mine. The XML files might contain all, some, or none of the elements contained in each of the schemas from their site. I need to transform the data back into text format for our purposes. Merry Christmas, Genesius. Another template rule uses the key function to look up the color names within the xq Automating Stylesheet Creation. Appreciating Libxslt. Push, Pull, Next! Seeking Equality. The Path of Control.
The template rule for the shirt element looks up the color name and adds it to the result tree followed by a single space added by an xsl:text element and the contents of that element. The lookup is performed using a key function that names the colorNumKey key declared at the beginning of the stylesheet and the color ID of the shirt element being processed as the value to look for in the key. The color ID is stored in a shirtColorCode variable declared at the beginning of the template.
Wrapping an xsl:for-each element around the xsl:value-of instruction that calls the key function solves a small problem with using the key function to look something up in another document: this function looks for key nodes in the same document as the context node, and without that xsl:for-each instruction, the context node for this xsl:value-of element is the shirt element being processed by the template rule. We're looking for a color element in the xq Wrapping it with an xsl:for-each instruction that selects xq Reading Multiple Input Documents March 6, Bob DuCharme When you run an XSLT processor, you tell it where to find the source tree document -- probably in a disk file on a local or remote computer -- and the stylesheet to apply to it.
Tip When a stylesheet uses the document function to read in another document, that stylesheet can include template rules to process the other document's nodes as easily as it can include template rules to process the source tree's nodes.
These XSLT instructions let you insert one stylesheet inside another; the document function lets you access other documents to combine with your source documents. The result should look like this: blue oxford button-down yellow poly blend, straight collar white monogrammed, tab collar Which the following stylesheet does.
