Hi everybody! With the next XML code, I'd like to extract the content of each block element.

<main>
<parkway>
        â€¦
</parkway>
    <boulevard>
        <block> Panorama street </block>
        <block> Gold avenue </block>
        <block> Rodeo Plaza </block>
    <boulevard>

</main>

The problem is how to use the concat function to display the content of all block elements, for example:

“Panorama street, gold avenue, rodeo plaza”

Would be better a kind of template to apply it for different XML files with variable number of block elements? If I have an atribute in the boulevard element like the "numberofblocks", would be necessary to control an iteration or to know the number of commas to write? Thanks in advanced

In XSLT 2.0:

<xsl:template match="boulevard">
  <xsl:value-of select="string-join(block, ', ')"/>
</xsl:template>

In 1.0:

<xsl:template match="boulevard">
  <xsl:for-each select="block"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    <xsl:if test="position() != last()">
      <xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
