I left some information out. I am actually importing data from 4
different XML files so I created a summary file (summary.xml) that
consists of a parent element called 'sources' and child elements named
'source' that locally reference the URLs of all the XML files I need.
Then what is missing is the document(@href) function in your original
code in the apply templates.
Almost! I have a whole series of pfarr elements. Each one has a
pfstring element that has an id='dlt' and and value. Example:
<pfstring id='dlt'>20</pfstring>
This is quite different from your example input, where you showed one
pfarr element with multiple pfstring children, each siblings to one
another. I understand now, that instead of this:
<pfarr name="dls">
<pfarr name="abcde">
<pfstring name="aa">0.010</pfstring>
<pfstring name="br24">23266128.0</pfstring>
<pfstring name="dlt">30</pfstring>
it is more like this:
<pfarr name="dls">
<pfarr name="abcde">
<pfstring name="aa">0.010</pfstring>
</pfarr>
<pfarr name="ef">
<pfstring name="br24">23266128.0</pfstring>
</pfarr>
<pfarr name="ghi">
<pfstring name="dlt">30</pfstring>
....
with one additional change: all names are now always equal to 'dlt', right?
I want this to be output thus:
<datalogger name="B">
<param id="dlt">80</param>
</datalogger>
<datalogger name="C">
<param id="dlt">50</param>
</datalogger>
which, to me, looks quite different from your original output, where you
kept the original siblings of params together.
To be verbose: I want to sort them so that the first datalogger
element in the XML output is the one with the highest dlt. This is
then followed by those with high dlt values. Once we get beyond the
dlt values, the datalogger elements are ordered by their name. All
dataloggers have a param element with an id of 'dlt' and an associated
value.
Do you mean that siblings can occur, and that you want the pfarr that
has highest available 'dlt' value to be output as first datalogger
element? Or is there always only one dlt? What do you mean with "beyond
dlt values"? It helps if you show the input as it really is, because it
seems contradictory to say "Each one has a pfstring element that has an
id='dlt' " and "Once we get beyond the dlt values", because they are
always there.
Please clarify the following:
1. The order of the datalogger elements, based on some (cumulative?)
value of their children
2. The order of the param elements inside each datalogger, if there are
more than one (are there?)
3. Whether additional param elements influence the order of the
datalogger, other then what you define by (1)
4. The exact content of your data (but keep it brief) and an example of
the exact output, based on that very content. Make sure it clarifies the
other points above, and the structure.
