Hi,
Given this xm ldoc:
<ve pos=1"><entrydata><text>mena</text></entrydata></ve>
<ve pos=2"><entrydata><text>proc</text></entrydata></ve>
<ve pos=3"><entrydata><text>security</text></entrydata></ve>
<ve pos=4"><entrydata><text>protocal</text></entrydata></ve>
<ve pos=5"><entrydata><text>network</text></entrydata></ve>
<ve pos=6"><entrydata><text>lol</text></entrydata></ve>
I would like to store the position number of the <ve> tag (in
a variable
called "secpos") which contains entrydata[0]/text='Security.
This will always return an empty node-set, you probably mean entrydata[1] or
something?
I have got the
ve which does this but i dont know how to extract the
position attribute and
create a variable at the same time? This is what i have got
at the moment:
<xsl:variable name="secpos"
select="viewentry[entrydata/text='Security']" />
but i need it to store the position attribute of the ve which
has text
containing security? Apologies if this question is a bit easy
to others but
i didnt know where to look..
How about
<xsl:variable name="secpos" select="ve[entrydata/text = 'security']/@pos"/>
You didn't specify what the current context is for the evaluation, so I assume
the parent element of the ve elements. Note that XPath string comparisions are
not case-insensitive.
