I have a sequence of strings which are all 'ok' or 'fail' where I
want to force the case of all of them.
Actually, it looks like you have a sequence of nodes in
$states, not strings.
Ah yes. Actually I did know that (no really). I just didn't state
It properly.
Can anyone suggest how I might process my sequence to return a
sequence but have each entry passed through lower-case.
$states/lower-case(normalize-space(column[7]))
Thank you, done that. Seems to be working.
I remind my students in class that the "/" in "$nodes/expr" is an
abbreviation for:
for $n in $nodes return expr($n)
... which is exactly what you did in setting your first variable. I
just took it one step further.
I realized I could get the column data via normalize-space. I just didn't
spot that I could just add the lower-case there.
I thought maybe I could pass it as a parameter to a moded
apply-templates, but then I get warned that select needs a node, not
a string, as its @select attribute.
That shouldn't be necessary if the input is as simple as you imply.
It wasn't, and it is.
Subsequently I do distinct-values on it and the result of that I
want only to contain 'ok' or 'fail', with no case variations
remaining.
The sequence above would be satisfactory input to distinct-values().
It was.
I hope this helps.
Very much so.
XSLT is very much about how to look at what you've got.
And especially about sequences.
