RE: Match first non-empty from different fragments

Hi,

Context node is results (top level if that is what context 
node refers to)

Also, above "There are man z:row" should read "There are many z:row"

 name: <xsl:value-of 
select="(result//rs:data/z:row/@name_of_event[string(.)])[last()]"/>

provided event result always precedes meet result.
It may or may not.

Ok, then you have to use some other expression.

Can you explain the above select?  I don't get it.

The above first selects all result//rs:data/z:row/@name_of_event attributes 
whose value is not empty string, then selects the last in document order. 
However, if the order in your source is not stable, you have to use some other 
system. Just use the xsl:choose to check if meet name is an empty string 
(remember to make sure you're checking if the value is empty, not if the 
attribute exists), then based on that select the result you want.

Cheers,

Jarno
