Subject: [xsl] Limiting a FOR-EACH loop
How do I ensure that a FOR-EACH loop only iterates over the
first x number
of elements. Or more generally, how can I read the values of
first x number
of elements in a certain node [ex: /SEARCH/RESULTS] and
ignore the rest of
the elements in the /SEARCH/RESULTS (where x itself is the
value-of another
element)?
You could try (assuming x has been defined already):
<xsl:for-each select="/search/results/*[position() <= $x]">
<xsl:value-of select="."/> <!-- or copy-of if you need the nodes -->
</xsl:for-each>
So if x = 2, only the values of the first two child elements would be
output.
