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
