Hi,
I've to define a key to get the content of a tag from another xml
file.
I've defined a key to retrieve the content in the current xml document
like this:
<xsl:key name="CurrentGroupByIdentifier" match="group"
use="identifier[1]"/>
But how to do this for another xml file?
Jarno suggested how to search a string in another xml file like:
document($filename, /)/descendant::text()[contains(., $yourString)]
I guess this must be in the xsl-FAQ -- search for lookup.
You have to be sure that the current document is the one you want to
search.
This can be done using the following code:
<xsl:for-each select="document('whateverURI')">
<!-- Use the key() function, e.g.: -->
<xsl:copy-of select="key('CurrentGroupByIdentifier', 'xxx')"/>
</xsl:for-each>
The purpose of the xsl:for-each above is only to make the necessary
document
the current document. As it specifies a node-list of only one node (the
root
node of the document), the body of this xsl:for-each instruction will be
applied only once, which is exactly what we want.
