Hi Birgit,

this should do the Job

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
~  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
~  xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common";
~  xmlns:math="http://exslt.org/math";
~  extension-element-prefixes="math exsl">

~  <xsl:template match='/'>
~    <xsl:variable name='numbers'>
~      <xsl:for-each select="index/entry">
~        <xsl:variable name="vXML" select='concat(xml,".xml")'/>
~        <NUMBER><xsl:value-of
select="document($vXML)/entry/item/@number" /></NUMBER>
~      </xsl:for-each>
~    </xsl:variable>

~    <xsl:value-of select='math:max(exsl:node-set($numbers)/NUMBER)'/>

~  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

If you are using an processor that supports exsl:node-set and math:max.
Many do. See http://exslt.org for details.

Greetings to Rosenheim. I used to live near it some time ago.

| Hello,

| I've got the following problem:
|
| I've got an index xml file that refers to some other xml files like that:
|
| <!-- index file -->
| <index>
|       <entry><xml>X1</xml>...</entry>
|       <entry><xml>X2</xml>...</entry>
|       <entry><xml>X3</xml>...</entry>
|       ... <!-- and others -->
| </index>
|
| <!-- X1.xml -->
| <entry>
|       <item number="3" />
|       ...
| </entry>
|
| <!-- X2.xml -->
| <entry>
|       <item number="7" />
|       ...
| </entry>
|
| <!-- X3.xml -->
| <entry>
|       <item number="2" />
|       ...
| </entry>
|
| The XSL file I have, belongs to the index file.
|
| In the xsl file I can get each value of the attribute number like this:
| <xsl:for-each select="index/entry">
|       <xsl:variable name="vXML"><xsl:value-of select="xml"
/>.xml</xsl:variable>
|       <xsl:variable name="vNumber"
select="document($vXML)/entry/item/@number" />
| </xsl:for-each>
|
| But my problem is, that I want to find the maximum of the attribute
number / the
| variable vNumber!
| This value should become a global variable.
|
| Does anyone has an idea?!
|
| Thanks
|
