RE: [xsl] Problem with str:tokenize

2006-06-27 07:12:45

The suggested way doesnot work. The problem is with 
<xsl:for-each select="str:tokenize(//root/path1/info/name,',')">

If I have <xsl:for-each select="//root/path1/info">, then the 
<xsl:for-each select="//root/path2/deptinfo"> for loop works.

So the real problem is with 
"str:tokenize(//root/path1/info/name,',')".

Any suggestions for how I can get this working. I really do 
not know what is the difference.

You clearly didn't understand the previous response. It's hard to know why,
since the response seems clear enough. str:tokenize() constructs a new
document containing the tokens. When you do xsl:for-each on these tokens,
this changes the context node and therefore the meaning of a path expression
starting with "/".

This is a faq, inside the loop the current node is not in your

save the input document in a global variable

<xsl:variable name="inputdoc" select="/"/>

then refer to it as

       <xsl:for-each select="$inputdoc/root/path2/deptinfo">

assuming root is your top level element select="//root/ is a very 
expensive way to select it as it will search the entire document 
looking for root elements. You want /root not //root (or in 
this case 
you want $inputdoc/root not $inputdoc//root )
