I step away from xpath and xslt for long stretches, and when I come
back, parts of the big picture are a little fuzzy. My sense is that for
the problem below, I need to loop; the test can't be done in a single
XSLT1.0 statement.
I have a set of elements ("t") with children under them
("t/cSet/c"). I'm looking for children that occur twice. I'd like get
a nice 1.0 nodeset, which is the practical reason for trying to shoehorn
the task into a single statement.
The xslt and xml are below. I used command-line saxon for debugging.
The expression for the element "Find_Cs_In_Ts" is what I'd like to
either get working, or get an official confirmation that the task is
impossible. In the real implementation the "> 0" would be " = 2",
and the answer would be "3, 5, and 7", which are the numbers that occurs
twice in the set. The other elements are just me playing around with
similar constructions that return related data.
In SQL, this would be something like
select * from ccc where (select count (*)
from T/cSet as TC where tc.c = ccc.c ) >0
Any explanation for what the right syntax is, or, conceptually, why
the idea doesn't fit in with xslt1.0 would be greatly appreciated. I've
got looping code for the task almost implemented, so, mostly I'm asking
for how the parser is reading the expression I wrote, and how far away
is what I wrote from what I really wanted?
Another approach might be to use the parent axis to walk back up and
then over to other T elements to find the related data.
thanks for any suggestions,
