help needed regarding xslt

pradeep.mallavarapu · April 19th, 2006, 05:42 AM

Hi..:)
I have a problem in extracting data from a file using xslt.
the problem is that i have to extract the coordinates and place them three in a row which represents a coordinate of a point in the three axes i.e X,Y,Z.
can you help me to design an xslt to do this.
i'm sending the file. i need to extract the points ((i want only Coordinate point )) not the DEF) from the tag --> <Coordinate DEF="_coord0BFD4110" point=" <---

You haven't said what output you want but I guess it's something like

<coordinate>
  <point X="-240.0" Y="-148.0" Z="2.0"/>
  <point X="-240.0" Y="-148.0" Z="28.0"/>
  etc...

This is easiest to achieve with XSLT 2.0, where you can call tokenize() to split the string using "," as a delimiter, then split each substring again using tokenize() but using space as a delimiter.

In XSLT 1.0 you'll need to write a recursive template that uses substring-before() and substring-after(). To split a string at commas, use substring-before() to get what comes before the first comma, then make a recursive call to process the rest of the string after the first comma. You'll find an example of this in the str:tokenize template which you can download from www.exslt.org - you may be able to use this code directly in your stylesheet, or you may prefer to adapt it to your specific requirements.
