My datafile looks something like this:
<FIELD_1>
<FIELD_2>
<FIELD_3>
<FIELD_4>
<FIELD_5>
...
<FIELD_142>
Change the design if you can. It's much cleaner to use <FIELD nr="4">.
You're not using XML the way it was designed to be used, so you're giving
yourself an uphill struggle. If you can't change the original input,
consider writing a transformation that turns it into something more
sanitary, which you can then run as the first step in your transformation
pipeline.
<fo:block><xsl:value-of
select="concat('FIELD_',$number)"
However, the output gives me:
FIELD_1 FIELD_2 FIELD_3 etc....
rather than the data contained within these nodes. Can
someone shed some
light for me?
If you wanted to output the string "FIELD_4", how would you write it if not
like this?
Write select="*[name() = concat('FIELD_',$number)]".
