First - thanks to everybody for the fast answers and for the hints so
far (even that I didn't get Dimitres example to run - using Stylus
Studio with MSXML/MSXML 4.0). This seems to me a great and helpful
mailing list.
Second - The XPaths of the XML schema documents are used to create
mappings between EDI field descriptions and the XML file in which they
should be transferred. The XML schemas are the base for the mapping
design. First intention is, to control if every given XPath in the
mapping documents (usually Excel sheets) is correct written. Next
intention is, to get an easy diff about the ongoing changes in the XML
schema documents. So hierarchy doesn't matter. It's only important that
the list contains every used unique XPath to an named element.
Namespaces are not used. Indeed the XML schemata are very simple and
don't use much of the possibilities that an XML schema offers. But at
least they group elements to complex elements and use references. There
is no elaborated software intended, which will use this information.
Below is a concrete example of such a schema
The desired XSLT would produce a list like
/OBBISOFT/MESSAGE/MESSAGE_NO
/OBBISOFT/MESSAGE/MESSAGE_VERSION_NO
/OBBISOFT/MESSAGE/MESSAGE_SENDER/MAIN
/OBBISOFT/MESSAGE/MESSAGE_SENDER/CENTER
/OBBISOFT/MESSAGE/MESSAGE_SENDER/TEAM
...
which lists only the elements.
A list like
/OBBISOFT
/OBBISOFT/MESSAGE
/OBBISOFT/MESSAGE/MESSAGE_NO
wouldn't be the desired output.
This isn't to difficult based on your given situation. You could use XSL
like:
<xsl:key
name="elems"
match="xs:element"
use="@name"/>
<xsl:template match="xs:element">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@ref">
<xsl:apply-templates select="key('elems', @ref)"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="@name">
<xsl:text>/</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
