RE: implementing for-each for comparision

Hi,

I am able to get the output properly if there is no col4 in 
the mapping file 
i.e. file2 then not writing line 5 above in the output.

Could you show the stylesheet, or rather, a self-contained stylesheet that 
displays the problem you have.

I want to implement something like
 1) Read each column from the File1.
 2) Match it will all the columns of File2

Note that in the two example documents you use column names "col1" and "Col1", 
and XPath 1.0 does only case-sensitive string comparisons.

 3) If name of column is same then get the value of column 
from file1 and 
check if datatype attribute is date then output "Date 
MM:DD:YYYY HH:MI:SS AM" 
otherwise don't do anything.

xsl:if for that.

 4) If match exit from the for loop (is this possible in xsl)

Yes, if the loop is a recursive template call, but not if you're processing 
using xsl:for-each or xsl:apply-templates as they're not "loops".
