Re: NEED good information on alternative for dyn:evaluate() for MSXML
2004-05-27 12:43:05
The variety of possibilities is numberous.
I said 20-30 different fields and include the possiblities of
contains, not contains, =, != and maybe > and <.
But it will always be in the form (select="//person[contains(FName,'a') and
LName='Brown' ... additional conditions...]")
I would like to be able to just evaluate the string as XPath like the
way EXLST extents just about everything except MSXML.
Do you know if any work arounds for this?
Thanks,
~Steve

Ah, yes, a much different situation for sure :)
Let me ask you this... Is there going to be a large variety of
possibilities as far as the actual XPath is concerned or will it pretty
much be a select number of XPath statements with different values to
match to FName and LName?

M:D,
I understand your confusion, because your point is valid.
But, the catch is this I am going to be passing a new a probably
different pre-generated XPath expession to the param each time the
stylesheet is called.
So, instead of hard coding the param into the select it needs to
variable.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
~Steve

Hey Steve,
Im confused... What part of $filter, or better
"//person[contains(FName,'a') and LName='Brown']" yet from a string
to
XPath? It is already XPath.
When I run this code as such...
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:param name="filter" select="//person[contains(FName,'a') and
LName='Brown']"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="$filter"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="person">
<xsl:value-of select="LName"/>, <xsl:value-of select="FName"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I get the expected output of:
Brown, Allan
Can you clarify a bit further?
Thanks!
<M:D/>

M:D,
Thanks for the link.
There is plenty to learn from it, but the string I am looking to
evaluate is a bit more complex...
Here are some code snippets for reference.
XSL:
<xsl:param name="filter" select="//person[contains(FName,'a') and
LName='Brown']"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="$filter"/> (this is what does
not
work,
some parsers offer a evaluate function to convert a string to
XPath
but not MSXML)
</xsl:template>
XML:
<person>
<FName>Allan</FName>
<LName>Brown</LName>
....
</person>
Thanks again,
~Steve

Hey Steve,
Without a code sample I can't tell you if this particular
solution
will
give you what you want. But my Yahoo! style directory post from
a
few
weeks ago may contain the solution to your problem.
Heres the link to that posting...
http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200405/msg00288.html
To save you from having to mull through the code and
documentation
the
code takes this string parameter...
<xsl:param name="dirPath" select="'Main/Computers/WWW'"/>
Breaks it down into its individual parts and then compares each
part
to
the source XML, outputting the children of the final node as a
Yahoo!
style directory...
Let me know if this doesn't get you to where you need to go and
I
will
try and help you further...
Best regards,
<M:D/>

I'm sure this question is probably an FAQ, but I've been
digging
around the web for a couple of days trying to find a work
around
for
converting a string to XPath for MSXML4 and haven't been able
to
find
the right place.
The way I understand it is you have to write an extension, but
I'm
not
clear on how to do that. Plus, I have a feeling that someone
else
has
invented that wheel.
I'm not apposed to switching XSL parsers, but I if I do it
needs
work
with
ASP.
Thanks,
~Steve
