Subject: [xsl] Sub group grouping using generate-id
I have tried to simplify the problem, but still have
difficulty getting my expected results. Given this
simplified xml doc,
(...)
During processing, if I am at a given <experiment> node, how
do I get a variable holding unique variant nodes, as
classified by the <position> element? Or put another way,
how do I get a list of <variant>'s unique to an <experiment>
node, using the <position> child element of <variant> as the key?
Expected results would be
experiment node 1 has variant at position1,2, and 3
experiment node 2 has variant at position 1,2,3, and 4
I have been trying to get this filled in but have been
spectacularly unsuccessful.
Here is one of the very many attempts...
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="expNodes" select="//n1:experiment"/>
You probably don't need the '//' here. You can use select="[your root
node]/n1:experiment" instead
<xsl:key name="variant-key" match="//n1:variant"
use="n1:position"/>
The xsl:key is a direct child of xsl:stylesheet, so this will give you an
error
This key will select a variant according to its child position, no matter
where it is
To select only those that belong to a certain experiment you'll have to had
that to the key
Something like:
<xsl:key name="variant-key" match="n1:variant"
use="concat(generate-id(ancestor::n1:experiment),n1:position)"/>
.
.
<xsl:for-each select="$expNodes">
<xsl:variable name="unique-exp-variants"
select="//n1:variant[generate-id(//n1:position)=generate-id(key('variant-key
',.)[1])]"/>
This variable will never select anything. The key is matching n1:variant and
you are comparing it to n1:position, so, generate-id(n1:variant) will always
be different from generate-id(n1:position)
Your variable is also selecting all n1:variant of the document, you only
want those the are descendant of the current experiment. To select those you
can use descendant::n1:variant or, using its path,
n1:genotypesInSubject/n1:pcrResuts/n1:variant
The variable definition will be:
<xsl:variable name="unique-exp-variants"
select="n1:genotypesInSubject/n1:pcrResuts/n1:variant[generate-id()=generate
-id(key('variant',concat(generate-id(current()),n1:position)))]"/>
(...)
