RE: sum within template

2003-05-19 08:17:06


De : shadab [mailto:mohammad(_dot_)shadab(_at_)adeptia(_dot_)com]
I have a template,

<xsl:template match="purchaseOrder/items/quantity">
<xsl:element name="quant"><xsl:value-of 
select="current()"/></xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

Now the occurence of items is unbounded.I would like to get 
the sum of all
the 'quantity' fields within items.

By changing value-of select=sum(current()) it throws an 
error.Any ideas how
i could get the sum of all 'quantity' without removing template?

Really, you should be matching a little bit higher up. If you change your
template to 

<xsl:template match="purchaseOrder">
  <quant>
    <xsl:value-of select="sum(items/quantity)"/>
  </quant>
</xsl:template>

this will do what you want.

You can then, if needs be, do an apply-templates of item inside the template
for purchaseOrder.

Hope this helps,
Dave.
