Hi Xiang,
Please try this XSL -
(this is a Muenchian Grouping solution)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:key name="by-row" match="row"
use="concat(length,' ',Axis)" />
<xsl:template match="/root">
<xsl:for-each select="Record/row[generate-id(.) =
generate-id(key('by-row', concat(length,'
',Axis))[1])]">
Experiment (length=<xsl:value-of select="length"
/>,Axis=<xsl:value-of select="Axis"
/>)<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:for-each select="key('by-row',
concat(length,' ',Axis))">
<xsl:for-each select="*[(name() != 'length')
and (name() != 'Axis')]">
<xsl:value-of select="name()"
/>=<xsl:value-of select="." />
<xsl:if test="position() !=
last()">,</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I added a <root> tag at the begining to make the XML
well formed.
Hope I understood the problem correctly..

Hi,
I have some problems in restructuring some data
files. what i have to do is
to group the measurements(<length>) of "a" and "c"
(<Axis>) together, so i
need to find what are the other tags in each row,
and read their values to
decide which ones belong to the same experiment.
my xml file looks like this:
<Record sample="1">
<row row_id='0'>
<length>5.4</length>
<Axis>a</Axis>
<Environment>air</Environment>
<Temperature>200K</Temperature>
</row>
<row row_id='1'>
<length>5.3</length>
<Axis>c</Axis>
<Environment>air</Environment>
<Temperature>200K</Temperature>
</row>
<row row_id='2'>
<length>5.0</length>
<Axis>a</Axis>
<Environment>air</Environment>
<Temperature>400K</Temperature>
</row>
<row row_id='3'>
<length>5.4</length>
<Axis>c</Axis>
<Environment>air</Environment>
<Temperature>400K</Temperature>
</row>
<row row_id='4'>
<length>5.4</length>
<Axis>a</Axis>
<Environment>Ar</Environment>
<Temperature>200K</Temperature>
</row>
<row row_id='5'>
<length>5.4</length>
<Axis>c</Axis>
<Environment>Ar</Environment>
<Temperature>200K</Temperature>
</row>
</Record>
<Record sample="2">
...
</Record>
Problem is, tags other than <length> and <Axis> vary
from sample to sample.
this seems like impossible for me to do the grouping
using xslt. Maybe some
gurus here can give me your brilliant ideas?...
thanks!!
Xiang
