RE: not getting expected matches

yeah, believe me, it's not my idea to have those huge complicated element names 
with the identifiers included in the tag name. we have another developer here 
who has been in EDI-world for way too long. so they put a bunch of work into 
making a schema for our EDI transactions and that's what we ended up with. but 
anyway, the code works great, as usual!

you da man.

Subject: RE: [xsl] not getting expected matches


At 02:48 PM 9/16/2004, I wrote:
       <xsl:template match="*[starts-with(local-name(), 'ELE')]">
                <xsl:value-of select="."/><xsl:text>*</xsl:text>
                <!-- put a line break after last 'ELE' element -->
                <xsl:if test="">
                        <xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
                </xsl:if>
        </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

but I don't know how to format the xsl:if test to check to 
see if this 
ELE tag is the last ELE tag under the SEG tag...how would I do that?

<xsl:if test="not(following-sibling::rm:ELE)">...</xsl:if>

... and then realize they're not plain ELE elements, but ELExxx.

That's a bit trickier:

test="not(following-sibling::*[starts-with(local-name(), 'ELE')])"

... yet another reason why it's so much nicer to have

<ELE n="xxx">

than

<ELExxx>

(Personally I can't abide name-munging and name tests, avoiding them 
wherever possible: the language should be doing them for me.)

Cheers,
Wendell
