I have a source XML file which has a number of elements whose name ends
with 'List'. For each of these there will be another element whose name
ends with 'ListLocalVal'. In the transform I am trying to do I need to
move the value from the LocalVal to the List element and not output the
LocalVal element.
I.e.
Source:
<MilkList>A value</MilkList>
<MilkListLocalVal>Another value</ MilkListLocalVal>
Desired output:
<MilkList>Another value</MilkList>
The relevant bit of XSLT is:
<xsl:template name="process-list">
<xsl:variable name="tempname" select="local-name()" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($tempname, 'ListLocalVal')">
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:element name="{$tempname}">
<xsl:variable
name="local-element-val"><xsl:value-of
select="$tempname"/><xsl:text>LocalVal</xsl:text><xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of
select="../[local-name()=$local-element-val" />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
What happens is I get the desired element created, i.e. <MilkList> but
it is empty. I have experimented with various constructs in the
<xsl:value-of> but all raise processor errors (xalan) apart from the
above.
Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong with the value select?
Many thanks
Steve
