Hi
I have a scenario as shown below in my xml:
Source XML:
<root>
<level1>
<st1>
<desc><text>sample desc</text></desc>
<!-- A <spec> element can occur here as well-->
<level2>
<item><text>r1 </text></item>
<item><text>r2</text></item>
</level2>
<spec><para>Some spec 1</para></spec>
<spec><para>Some spec 2</para></spec>
</st1>
</level1>
</root>
Here is my desired output XML:
<root>
<step1>
<text>sample desc</text>
<step2>
<text>r1</text>
</step2>
<step2>
<text>r2</text>
<spec><para>Some spec 1</para></spec>
<spec><para>Some spec 2</para></spec>
</step2>
</step1>
</root>
Please note that every item under level2 becomes a step2 in my output XML.
Here is my XSL for level2:
<xsl:template match="level2">
<xsl:for-each-group select="./item" group-by=".">
<text><xsl:apply-templates/></text>
<xs:apply-templates
select="../parent::st1/child::spec[not(preceding-sibling::*[1][self::desc])]
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:template>
The reason I write the condition
"not(preceding-sibling::*[1][self::desc])]" is because there is a
possiblity that there is a <spec> element after <desc> in the source
XML. I do not want to match that element.
Now here is my problem. With this template, my output looks like this:
<root>
<step1>
<text>sample desc</text>
<step2>
<text>r1</text>
<spec><para>Some spec 1</para></spec>
<spec><para>Some spec 2</para></spec>
</step2>
<step2>
<text>r2</text>
<spec><para>Some spec 1</para></spec>
<spec><para>Some spec 2</para></spec>
</step2>
</step1>
</root>
So instead of <spec> repeating only under the second <item>, it
repeats under both. How do I make <spec> go under only the second
item?
I have tried <xsl:for-each-group> but with no success. So maybe there
is something that I am not understanding in this grouping technique.
Can the experts please help me on this?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
