Hello - I am relatively new to xslt. I was wondering how to flag
records that don't match a pattern. I am going to be iterating
through about 8000 xml files in java transforming them from one xml to
another format required by a different company. I know that I am
going to miss some of the patterns at first but was wondering if
there's a way to flag the files that don't match up and maybe write
them to a seperate directory.
For example in matching author tags (<AU>Slade, Grant^Riggins,
John</Au>) - could I do something in the xsl:otherwise part?:
<xsl:template match="AU">
<contrib contrib-type="author">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains(., '^')">
<xsl:for-each select="tokenize(.,'\^')">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains(.,',')">
<name>
<surname>
<xsl:value-of
select="substring-before(.,',')"/>
</surname>
<given-names>
<xsl:value-of
select="substring-after(.,',')"/>
</given-names>
</name>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>OUTPUT TO DIFFERENT DIRECTORY
HERE?</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</contrib>
</xsl:template>
