I have what appears a simple compare() problem.
I have the following XML.
<XML>
<SplitNameList>
<SplitName>
<GivenName>ANDREW</GivenName>
<FamilyName>SMITH</FamilyName>
</SplitName>
<SplitName>
<GivenName>DONALD</GivenName>
<FamilyName>DUCK</FamilyName>
</SplitName>
</SplitNameList>
<FulNameList>
<FullName>DAVID JONES</FullName>
<FullName>ANDREW J SMITH</FullName>
<FullName>JOHN SMITH</FullName>
</FulNameList>
</XML>
I need to know if any of the Family Names match in the two lists. Either
of these two lists could be quite long and this is in the middle of a load
of logic. All I need here is a True/False. It doesn’t have to be an exact
match just as long as it matches the FamilyName.
Sadly I am restricted to XSL 1
It's not clear what you are asking - are you saying return true if any
of the <FamilyName>s are contained in the <FullName>s ? So in the
above, because SMITH is in at least one of the <FullName>s, then it
should return true.
