Or if we can't use XSLT 2.0 ...
<xsl:template match="level2[not(@attachpart)]">
<record>
<name>{name}</name>
<attachingPart>
<xsl:call-template name="attachingparts"/>
</attachingPart>
</record>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="attachingparts">
<xsl:param name="current"
select="following::*[position()=1]"/>
<xsl:param name="first" select="1"/>
<xsl:if test="current/@attachpart">
<xsl:if test="$first=0">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> </xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="current/number"/>
<xsl:call-template name="attachingparts">
<xsl:with-param name="current"
select="current/following::*[position()=1]"/>
<xsl:with-param name="first" select="0"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
.. I think it could work

It's dangerous to use the word "when" in your problem statement because
it suggests you are thinking in terms of order of execution.
What you've got here is a positional grouping problem:
<xsl:for-each-group select="level2"
group-starting-with="*[not(@attachpart)]">
<record>
<name><xsl:value-of select="name"/></name>
<attachingPart>
<xsl:value-of select="current-group()[(_at_)attachpart]/number"/>
</attachingPart>
</record>
</xsl:for-each>

Subject: [xsl] Select nodes with an attribute but not all the nodes
I am making an XML to XML transform using XSLT 2.0 and Saxon 8B. I
need to select certain nodes based on an attribute, but when I find a
node without the attribute I want to stop selecting nodes even if
subsequent siblings have the attribute.
<level2>
<name>box</name>
<number>1234</number>
</level2>
<level2>
<name attachpart="1">washer</name>
<number>234</number>
</level2>
<level2>
<name attachpart="1">screw</name>
<number>345</number>
</level2>
<level2>
<name attachpart="1">bolt</name>
<number>456</number>
</level2>
<level2>
<name>nameplate</name>
<number>9876</number>
</level2>
<level2>
<name>switch</name>
<number>7654</number>
</level2>
<level2>
<name attachpart="1">screw</name>
<number>345</number>
</level2>
The washer screw and bold are attaching parts for the box.
I need to output these in an <attachingPart> element.
<record>
<name>box</name>
<attachingPart>234 345
456</attachingPart>
</record>
Depending on how I approach the code, I get nothing or just the
washer or I get *all* of the parts that have the attachpart attribute.
Is there some way to say stop selecting attachpart nodes when a level2
doesn't have the attribute? It's sounds so simple but I'm not getting
anywhere with it.
I've been reading both Michael and Jeni and checking the archives.
Some things look close but I get the same results.
The answer is probably right in front of my face but I've been looking
at it so long I can't see the forest for the trees.
Regards,
Hermy
