Re: Wildcard problem

Hi again Houman,

I don't get an error with your code. However I get a count of 10 when I
should have gotten 2.

<WAAUX03MeterPulse action="add">
<WAAUX03WithholdNumber action="add">
<WAAUX01MeterPulse action="add">
<WAAUX01Bar141 action="add">
<WAAUX01CallBarring action="add">
<WAAUX01Line action="add">
<WAAUX03ICB action="add">
<WAAUX01OCBE action="add">
<WAAUX03OCB action="add">
<WAAUX03Line action="add">

It still counts everything with WAAUX following two digits, which are
10.

This goes for both David's and my solution. They cound _unique_ names
beginning with WAAUX having two digits right after.

...

As I said, I am very new to muenchian grouping. However could it be that
this is wrong:

<xsl:key name="WAAUX" match="*[starts-with(name(),'WAAUX')]"
use="name()"/>

Because not each element that starts with WAAUX needs a unique index.
But each element that starts with WAAUX AND a two number digits needs a
unique index, right?  But how is this possible? The Translate won't help
in this situation. Unless the problem is somewhere else...

Many thanks
Houman


However the translate() funcation eliminates this differences.
Is that possible or too complicated for XSLT?

You just need to do the de-duplication before the translate.
eg using keys (muenchian grouping)

<xsl:key name="WAAUX" match="*[starts-with(name(),'WAAUX')]"
use="name()"/>


<xsl:value-of select="count(*
[generate-id()=generate-id(key('WAAUX',name())[1])]
[starts-with(translate(name(),'123456789','000000000'),'WAAUX00')])"/>

I think you can change this to:
<xsl:key name="WAAUX" match="*[starts-with(name(),'WAAUX')]"
use="substring(name(),1,7)"/>

<xsl:value-of 
select="count(*[generate-id()=generate-id(key('WAAUX',substring(name(),1,7))[1])][starts-with(translate(name(),'123456789','000000000'),'WAAUX00')])"/>

That is, the solution should now distinguish only on those first 7
characters in the element name.

In my solution, you should change the predicate:
[not(name()=preceding::*/name())] to
[not(substring(name(),1,7)=preceding::*/substring(name(),1,7))]
