You can test if you're at the last item using
<xsl:if test="position()!=last()">,</xsl:if>
I would use a variable for the repeated expression /*/*[substring(name(),8)
= 'MeterPulse'].
You could do it using following-sibling but it's tortuous:
test="following-sibling::*[substring(name(),8) = 'MeterPulse']"

Subject: [xsl] following-sibling:: within a for-each
Hello everyone,
This is the first time I am experimenting with following-sibling:: and
am already stuck in here.
I have such a code here:
<xsl:if test="/*/*[substring(name(),8) = 'MeterPulse']">
<xsl:element name="MeterPulseFacility">
<xsl:for-each select="/*/*[substring(name(),8) =
'MeterPulse']"> <xsl:value-of select=" ...some
calculations... "/>
<xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:if>
The "...some calculations..." outputs a plain number. Following the
comma within the <xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
The output would be something like
3,2,1,
I wish to eliminate the last comma since there is no need for
a further
separation. I thought I could check if there actually is another
incoming sibling in the for-each, if yes then set the comma
otherwise do
not set the comma.
<xsl:if test="/*/*[substring(name(),8) = 'MeterPulse']">
<xsl:element name="MeterPulseFacility">
<xsl:for-each select="/*/*[substring(name(),8) =
'MeterPulse']"> <xsl:value-of select=" ...some
calculations... "/>
<xsl:if
test="substring(following-sibling::node()/name(),8) = 'MeterPulse'">
<xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:if>
However the way I wrote it seems to be wrong:
<xsl:if test="substring(following-sibling::node()/name(),8) =
'MeterPulse'">
Any comments please?
Many thanks,
Houman
