I am trying to retrieve data from a table structure (xml table) where
after every few rows a special row appears which contains a piece of
data which is relevant to rows appearing immidiatley after it (i.e.
its next few siblings). I am having hard time figuring out how to
achieve this without a dynamically assigned variable in XSL.
Test data looks like this:
<schedule>
<row type="header">
<col>January</col>
<col>Opponent</col>
</row>
<row type="data">
<col>10 at 6pm</col>
<col>Dallas</col>
</row>
<row type="data">
<col>21 at 8pm</col>
<col>New York</col>
</row>
<row type="data">
<col>31 at 8pm</col>
<col>Chicago</col>
</row>
<row type="header">
<col>March</col>
<col>Opponent</col>
</row>
<row type="data">
<col>16 at 9pm</col>
<col>Houston</col>
</row>
<row type="data">
<col>31 at 7pm</col>
<col>Sacramento</col>
</row>
</schedule>
and the desired output is:
<schedule>
<date>January 10 at 6pm</date>
<date>January 21 at 8pm</date>
<date>January 31 at 8pm</date>
<date>March 16 at 9pm</date>
<date>March 31 at 7pm</date>
</schedule>
basically what I am trying to figure out is how I can save the value
of col[1] in a varaible WHEN row[(_at_)type='header'] and then append the
value of this variable to all of the following col[1] values UNTIL the
next row[(_at_)type='header] is reached ?
Any suggestions, pointers, hints ?
