I want to do something that seems like it should be easy, but I cannot
figure it out.
I have a list of items like this in the input XML:
<Item>
<Type>type1</Type>
.. Other elements here..
</Item>
<Item>
<Type>type2</Type>
.. Other elements here..
</Item>
<Item>
<Type>type1</Type>
.. Other elements here..
</Item>
<Item>
<Type>type3</Type>
.. Other elements here..
</Item>
<Item>
<Type>type2</Type>
.. Other elements here..
</Item>
Each "Type" is handled differently, so the templates look like this:
<xsl:template match="*[Type = 'type1']">
.. Do type1 stuff here..
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*[Type = 'type2']">
.. Do type2 stuff here..
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*[Type = 'type3']">
.. Do type3 stuff here..
</xsl:template>
Now, further down in the input XML is another list of items related to,
say, type2 Items, in the same order as in the Item list, like this:
<Type2Info>
.. Elements related to the first type2 item is here..
</Type2Info>
<Type2Info>
.. Elements related to the second type2 item is here..
</Type2Info>
So, I'm inside the second match template above and I want to get at the
proper Type2Info element. Logically, what I want to do is this: "Get
the Nth Type2Info node where N is the ordinal number of the type2 Item
within the list of type2 Items."
I can make a list of just the type2 Items, that's easy. And I can access
the Nth Type2Info item, that's easy. I can even find the current type2
Item within the list of type2 Items, but I can't see how to determine
what N is. I've studied position() and xml:number and count(), etc. but
nothing seems quite what I need.
Help!
Thanks,
Lee
