Re: Getting Entity File Names

2003-10-23 06:10:53

Thanks, that won't work because these are actual
XML fragments and not unparsed  entities.  The
data has been created without any ID's so I
haven't anyway to reference or link to the
elements within inidividual files.  The filename 
of the fragment is the only identifier for over 
900 files.

Thanks again!

You can also use the following...

XML...

<!DOCTYPE foo [

<foo>

</foo>

XSLT...

  <xsl:template match="/">
    ....

    <xsl:value-of select="unparsed-entity-uri(/foo/bar/@image)"/>

    ....
  </xsl:template>

This will return it in this format:

file:///C:/fileFolder/foo.jpg

Just use multiple substring functions to get just the file name without the
extension...

Best of luck,

XSLT 2.0 has a base-uri() function which gives you this information;
there is an extension function in Saxon 6.5.x that gives it if you're on
1.0.

I want to grab the filenames of where certain elements are
found. Is there anyway to do this with XSLT?  For example,
below is a sample document:

<!DOCTYPE foo [
<!ENTITY foo1 SYSTEM "foo1.xml">
<!ENTITY foo2 SYSTEM "foo2.xml">
   ...
<!ENTITY foo900 SYSTEM "foo2.xml">
]>
<foo>
&foo1;
&foo2;
 ...
$foo900;
</foo>

I would the output to say something like:

<p>Found "myfoo" in file foo43</p>
