Dear all
Please help me imme in solving this.
I have some thing like this -
<tag1>
........
........
<childtag1>ChildValue1</childtag1>
<childtag1>ChildValue2</childtag1>
<childtag1>ChildValue3</childtag1>
.......
</tag1>
In the XSL, Iam using
<xsl:template match='tag1'>
<test1><xsl:apply-templates select="childtag1"></test1>
</xsl:template>
The <xsl:apply-templates> element applies a template rule to the current
element or to the current element's child nodes.
So the output value (in the output xml) Iam getting is -
<test1>ChildValue1ChildValue2ChildValue3</test1>
I want this output to be separated by commas, like
<test1>ChildValue1, ChildValue2, ChildValue3</test1>.
How to achieve this?
Thx in advance.

Hi,
I can suggest 2 approaches.
1) Add template rule for "childtag1":
<xsl:template match="childtag1">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:if test="following-sibling::childtag1">
<xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
2) or change the code you posted like this:
<xsl:template match='tag1'>
<test1>
<xsl:for-each select="childtag1">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:if test="position() != last()">
<xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</test1>
</xsl:template>
Just for this example the second is more intuitive and readable and finally faster I think.
Regards,
Armen
