Hello,
I need some help on traversing an XML structure and outputting the entries in a
specific format. Here it goes....
My input structure looks something like this:
<Root>
<Item>
<Line_No>901</Line_No>
<Amount>50.00</Amount>
</Item>
<Item>
<Line_No>801</Line_No>
<Amount>60.00</Amount>
</Item>
<Item>
<Line_No>802</Line_No>
<Amount>77.00</Amount>
</Item>
<Item>
<Line_No>806</Line_No>
<Amount>99.00</Amount>
</Item>
<Item>
<Line_No>1002</Line_No>
<Amount>3.00</Amount>
</Item>
<Item>
<Line_No>1003</Line_No>
<Amount>5.00</Amount>
</Item>
</Root>
For my output I want something like the following:
<Root>
<New_Item>
<Line_No>801</Line_No>
<Line_No_Og>801</Line_No_Og>
<Amount>60.00</Amount>
</New_Item>
<New_Item>
<Line_No>802</Line_No>
<Line_No_Og>802</Line_No_Og>
<Amount>77.00</Amount>
</New_Item>
<New_Item>
<Line_No>803</Line_No>
<Line_No_Og>806</Line_No_Og>
<Amount>99.00</Amount>
</New_Item>
<New_Item>
<Line_No>901</Line_No>
<Line_No_Og>901</Line_No_Og>
<Amount>60.00</Amount>
</New_Item>
<New_Item>
<Line_No>1001</Line_No>
<Line_No_Og>1002</Line_No_Og>
<Amount>3.00</Amount>
</New_Item>
<New_Item>
<Line_No>1002</Line_No>
<Line_No_Og>1003</Line_No_Og>
<Amount>5.00</Amount>
</New_Item>
</Root>
Explanation and a few important points:
- Basically, I am trying to get the items renumbered based on their Line_No
element.
- The Line_No element will never end with a 00 (i.e. 800, 900, 1000).
- The Line_No element may skip (i.e. 801, 802, 806), but in my output I want to
keep them ordered (i.e. 801, 802, 803), as demostrated in the above XML
snippets.
- The result does not need to have the Line_No or Line_No_Og elements in order,
but it does need to restart the Line_No_Og numbering based on the hundreth
group the Line_No element is in. For example:
801 --> 801 (begin 800 group)
802 --> 802
806 --> 803 (notice new Line_No is continuous, wheras original skipped)
901 --> 901 (notice numbering re-starts at the 1s for a new group (900s))
1002 --> 1001 (notice numbering re-starts at the 1s for a new group (1000s))
1003 --> 1002 (numbering continues consecutively in the 1000's group)
- And lastly, keep in mind that the Line_No elements can go up to the max (i.e.
899, 999, and 1099).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
