I was able to put most of your stuff to work in my "real" scenario but
got a little stuck because my data looks like this (hierarchely)
recordset
record
field
where field is "color" and recordset is "picture".
So I am one deeper than the example I gave. Plus, to confuse things a
little, my field name are field with attribute value name to describe
the element. So the revised xml would look like (just a snippet of
it):
<recordset rsName="pictures">
<record sample="1">
<field fieldname="color">red</color>
<field fieldname="color">brown</color>
<field fieldname="color">red</color>
</record>
</recordset>
Yes, in this case the XPath would be more complicated ... sth like
field[(_at_)fieldname='color'][not(.=preceding-sibling::field[(_at_)fieldname='color'])][.=$colors]
etc.
When things get really gnarly, variables are a big help.
I hope that nobody gets upset because I inquired with a simplified
example of my data, It was easier than trying to describe the real
data I had.
Not at all: actually, I think that's generally a good idea. As long as you
don't simplify the problem away! since it's *not* cool to say "thanks for
the help, but that wasn't the real problem". But if you represent the
problem properly, not only is no harm done, it's easier for everyone.
Cheers,
Wendell
