Re: [xsl] Checking for existence of a string within node-set

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg dot heinicke at gmx dot de>]

Hi Manny,

Is it something like the following?

<xsl:variable name="xml2" select="document('xml2.xml')/MMM/NNN/OOO"/>

<xsl:template match="AAA">
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates/>
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="BBB">
   <xsl:if test="$xml2[@name = current()/@name and
                         (@mode = 1 or @mode = 2)]">
     <xsl:copy>
       <xsl:copy-of select="CCC"/>
       <DDD>...</DDD>
       <EEE>...</EEE>
     </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Regards,

Joerg
