Hi everyone,
We have this xml as our input document:
<list>
<item ref="item1.xml"/>
<item ref="item2.xml"/>
<item ref="item3.xml"/>
<item ref="item4.xml"/>
</list>
We want to go through each of the item elements and using
the document function, load each item?.xml file and check
a specific attribute in the root node of that loaded document
to see if it matches a certain value. If it does match we want
to add the value of the ref attribute to a node-set. We want
to have a variable to which this node-set is assigned, so we
can do some processing on it at a later time (we want to run
a diff on it against another node-set amongst other things).
Basically this is like storing items into a variable (eg
var = var + new_item), but as we know, you can't reassign values
to a variable.
So can this be done using XSLT? I was trying to come up with a
recursive algorithm to do this, but am not sure how.
Thanks in advance.
Mike.
