When taking this further i have realised that maybe the problem is more
complicate dthan i first thought, see u what u think below::
(apologies for the layout, done in hotmail so may look a little shabby)
the xml file looks like this:
<t>
<het position="1">
<entrydata columnnumber="0">
<text>some more text here</text></entrydata>
</het>
<het position="1.1">
<entrydata columnnumber="1">
<text>some more text here</text></entrydata>
</het>
<het position="1.1.1">
<entrydata columnnumber="2">
<text>text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="3">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="4">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="5">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="6">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="7">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="8">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="9">
<text></text></entrydata>
</het>
<het position="1.1.2">
<entrydata columnnumber="2">
<text>text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="3">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="4">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="5">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="6">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="7">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="8">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="9">
<text></text></entrydata>
</het>
<het position="2">
<entrydata columnnumber="0">
<text>some more text here</text></entrydata>
</het>
<het position="2.1">
<entrydata columnnumber="1">
<text>some more text here</text></entrydata>
</het>
<het position="2.1.1">
<entrydata columnnumber="2">
<text>text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="3">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="4">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="5">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="6">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="7">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="8">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="9">
<text></text></entrydata>
</het>
</t>
and i was trying to recode it to nest:
<t>
<het position="1">
<entrydata columnnumber="0">
<text>some more text here</text></entrydata>
<het position="1.1">
<entrydata columnnumber="1">
<text>some more text here</text></entrydata>
<het position="1.1.1">
<entrydata columnnumber="2">
<text>text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="3">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="4">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="5">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="6">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="7">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="8">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="9">
<text></text></entrydata>
</het>
<het position="1.1.2">
<entrydata columnnumber="2">
<text>text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="3">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="4">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="5">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="6">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="7">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="8">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="9">
<text></text></entrydata>
</het>
</het>
</het>
<het position="2">
<entrydata columnnumber="0">
<text>some more text here</text></entrydata>
<het position="2.1">
<entrydata columnnumber="1">
<text>some more text here</text></entrydata>
<het position="2.1.1">
<entrydata columnnumber="2">
<text>text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="3">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="4">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="5">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="6">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="7">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="8">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="9">
<text></text></entrydata>
</het>
</het>
</het>
</t>
but still hvaing a meard with it, any suggestions would be appreciated.
also, at the same time i thought that renaming different levelled hets would
be a good idea- any het with 1-9 = res, 1.1-1.9 = rol, 1.1.1-1.1.9 = prod,
so it would look like
<t>
<res>
<rol>
<prod>
</prod>
<prod>
</prod>
</rol>
<rol>
<prod>
</prod>
</rol>
</res>
</t>
would i have to create new elements or is there a function to change element
names??

This transformation:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:variable name="Digits" select="1234567890"/>
<xsl:template match="/*">
<t>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="het[not(contains(@position, '.'))]"/>
</t>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="het">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="../het[starts-with(@position, current()/@position)
and
string-length(translate(@position,
$Digits,
''
)
)
=
1 + string-length(translate(current()/@position,
$Digits,
''
)
)
]"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When applied to your source.xml:
<t>
<het position="1"></het>
<het position="1.1"></het>
<het position="1.1.1"></het>
<het position="1.1.2"></het>
<het position="1.2"></het>
<het position="1.2.1"></het>
<het position="2"></het>
<het position="2.1"></het>
<het position="2.1.1"></het>
</t>
produces the wanted result:
<t>
<het position="1">
<het position="1.1">
<het position="1.1.1"/>
<het position="1.1.2"/>
</het>
<het position="1.2">
<het position="1.2.1"/>
</het>
</het>
<het position="2">
<het position="2.1">
<het position="2.1.1"/>
</het>
</het>
</t>
