You need to use a tokenizing functionality to solve this problem. You
can use an EXSLT extension for this.
Following is a working solution for this problem:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:str="http://exslt.org/strings";
exclude-result-prefixes="str"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title/>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<xsl:variable name="actors"
select="str:tokenize(Items/Item/Actors,'|')" />
<xsl:variable name="actorsrole"
select="str:tokenize(Items/Item/Actorsrole,'|')" />
<xsl:for-each select="$actors">
<xsl:variable name="x" select="position()" />
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="$actorsrole[position() = $x]" />
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hi,
I am trying to convert movie details (from http://www.movie-xml.com)
into a nice HTML page. That works quite well, except for the actor
name/role part, which is in two separate nodes for all actors and
roles - see the Actors and ActorsRole node below:
<Items>
<Item>
<SeriesName>101 Dalmatians</SeriesName>
<Actors>|Glenn Close|Jeff Daniels|Joely Richardson|Joan
Plowright|Hugh Laurie|Mark Williams|John Shrapnel|</Actors>
<Actorsrole>|Cruella De
Vil|Roger|Anita|Nanny|Jasper|Horace|Skinner|</Actorsrole>
<Tagline>So many dogs. So little time.</Tagline>
</Item>
</Items>
What I would like to obtain is something like the following (in a HTML
table - please also note that the '|' should be removed):
Glenn Close Cruella De Vil
Jeff Daniels Roger
etc.
I'm quite new to XSLT, and couldn't find anything useful using Google,
so can it be done using XSLT (preferably v1.0)? Any help would be much
appreciated!
Cheers
Erik
