Re: [xsl] Merging two XML files

2009-11-16 15:19:46
1) Process fileA using the identity transform
2) In the <record> template, key into fileB using the title, where the
key matches "record" and uses "title"
3) Copy the name and url elements, or *[not(self::title)]

2009/11/16 Mak, Lucas Wing Kau <makw(_at_)mail(_dot_)lib(_dot_)msu(_dot_)edu>:
I want to merge two XML files (i.e. fileA & fileB below) by matching the 
values in their <title> elements and grabbing everything from fileA, but only 
the <url> element from fileB.

fileA
<collection>
       <record>
               <title>abc</title>
               <name>peter</name>
       </record>
       <record>
               <title>def</title>
               <name>jack</name>
       </record>
       <record>
               <title>ghi</title>
               <name>john</name>
       </record>
</collection>

fileB
<collection>
       <record>
               <title>abc</title>
               <date>11/23/2008</date>
               <url>http://no.com</url>
       </record>
       <record>
               <title>ghi</title>
               <date>12/12/2007</date>
               <url>http://hello.com</url>
       </record>
       <record>
               <title>cmyk</title>
               <date>10/12/2006</date>
               <url>http://hi.com</url>
       </record>
</collection>

Output XML
<collection>
       <record>
               <title>abc</title>
               <name>peter</name>
               <url>http://no.com</url>
       </record>
       <record>
               <title>ghi</title>
               <name>john</name>
               <url>http://hello.com</url>
       </record>
</collection>

How I can do it? I am using XSLT 1.0 since I am more familiar with 1.0 
(though my processor also support 2.0)

Thanks in advance.
