Rahil, you can use the xsl:choose statement like this to conditionally use
for-loops
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="some-condition-true" >
<xsl:for-each select="selection-criteria">
</xsl:for-each
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
That would seem like a natural progression to resolve the problem.
However in my case im working with two files simultaneously.
I have two for loops. The first for loop runs through the first file
First.xml such that
<xsl:for-each
select="document(First.xml)/SubConcepts/SubConcept">.............</xsl:for-each>
<!--extract the '@name' value-->
The second for loop is nested within the first loop and is as such
<xsl:for-each
select="document(Second.xml)/SubConcepts/SubConcept[1]/Value">
<!--check if contains( '@name=text()' ) -->
What I want to do is look for the '@name' value in the rest of the
'document(Second.xml)/SubConcepts/SubConcept' ONLY IF I dont find a
match in the earlier SubConcept node's Value nodes.
As a matter of philosophy, conditional logic like this and for-each loops
should be used sparingly in XSLT.

Subject: [xsl] problem with handling conditional for loops
Hi
I desperately need some help. So would appreciate any suggestions etc.
I want to execute a second for loop IF AND ONLY IF the first
for loop doesnt satisfy the condition. How do I go about
doing it in XSL ?
Please give me some suggestion.
Thanks
Rahil
