I am new in xslt coding, and I need to loop in the following code three times, and add a linefeed at the end. I would appreciate your help on this:




        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="name[@type='other']">
                <xsl:apply-templates select="name[@type='other']"/>
                <xsl:text>|#10;</xsl:text>
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:otherwise>
                <xsl:text>|#10;</xsl:text>
            </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:template>

Thx,
Victoria

Your comment "add all three nickname fields" suggests you are actually looping over some nodes in your source document. So we need to see what your source document looks like.

Here is the command which runs for this process. can I find the source document location from any of these property files:

JSDK_BIN/java -Dlog4j.configuration=amcom_harvester.properties -classpath $CLASSPATH edu.stanford.harvester.Harvester $PROPERTIES_D
IR/amcom_harvester.properties $PROPERTIES_DIR/load_amcom_processor.properties $1

The program you are running is called edu.stanford.harvester.Harvester. I have absolutely no idea what this program does or what it expects to find in its property files.

Are you trying to tell me that you are programming in XSLT without knowing what your XML input document looks like?

I guess that is correct. I assumed that I can just look at other xslt and copy the loop procedure.

I am just trying to learn xslt, and the original programmer has left. I thought this would be a good opportunity for me to learn this....

My code already display the 1st Nick name, I just know that I should check for that field three times....

I wouldn't touch the XSLT code without knowing exactly what its input looks like. You can find out using

<xsl:message>
  <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:message>

right in the initial template (assuming the xsl:message output is going somewhere you can find it).

It's not really enough to see one source document. You need to see a specification describing the set of all possible source documents. But that may be hoping for too much.

Ok, maybe this will help. Here is what I have to show the Nick Name, and the name field includes 0 to 3 NickNickNick, I need to parse it to ||| or Nick|Nick|Nick| or Nick|| or Nick|Nick||

        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="name[@type='other']">
                <xsl:apply-templates select="name[@type='other']"/>
                <xsl:text>|</xsl:text>
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:otherwise>
                <xsl:text>|</xsl:text>
                <xsl:text>|</xsl:text>
                <xsl:text>|</xsl:text>
            </xsl:otherwise>
             <xsl:text>#10;</xsl:text>
        </xsl:choose>


And, here is the output:

99999999|U|R|lastnm, firstnm middle|GQZE|Department of XXXXX Management|Director|||||||123 fun Street, Second Floor|EMP|6114|
00-000-000-0000||00-000-000-0000||99999999|[email protected]|M|||||||||||00-000-000-0000|99999999|||||||||||||||||||||99999
999|W|W||S|W|||lastnm, firstnmlastnm, firstnm M.|

What should I change in the code so I see this output:

99999999|U|R|lastnm, firstnm middle|GQZE|Department of XXXXX Management|Director|||||||123 fun Street, Second Floor|EMP|6114|
00-000-000-0000||00-000-000-0000||99999999|[email protected]|M|||||||||||00-000-000-0000|99999999|||||||||||||||||||||99999
999|W|W||S|W|||lastnm, firstnm|lastnm, firstnm M.||

Thanks for all your help,
Victoria
