Hi,
I have a reference file like this:
<root>
<entry>text 1</entry>
<entry>text 2</entry>
</root>
the entry elements may reach up to more than a thousand. I need to
generate a list of entry elements that does not have a match in my
source xml.
my source xml looks like:
<source>
<head>some text 1 some text some text some text</head>
</source>
what i do in my xslt is to iterate each of the entry elements and try to
look for a match if there is none then i report it.
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="$refence.file/entry">
<xsl:if test="not(exists(//text()[ancestor::head][matches(.,
concat('(^|\W)(',current(),')($|\W)'))]))">
<xsl:message>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:message>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
but this method tends to be rather slow when i have a reference file
that has many entries. Is there another way to go around this, by keys
maybe?
Thanks,
