Hi , i have some variable inside for-each , how i can access these variables outside for-each

eg:

<xsl:template name="ValidateRequest">
<xsl:for-each select="../../Check/Node">
    <xsl:if test="@Name = $Name">
        <xsl:for-each select="Type">
            <xsl:if test="@name='MANDATORY'">
                <xsl:variable name="Mandatory" select="@name"/>
            </xsl:if>
            <xsl:if test="@name ='LENGTH'">
                <xsl:variable name="Length" select="@name"/>
            </xsl:if>
            <xsl:if test="@name='CONTENT'">
                <xsl:variable name="Content" select="@name"/>
            </xsl:if>
            <xsl:if test="@name='FORMAT'">
                <xsl:variable name="Format" select="@name"/>
            </xsl:if>
        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

<Request>
    <xsl:element name="Name">
        <xsl:value-of select="$Mandatory"/>
    </xsl:element>
    <xsl:element name="StartPosition">
        <xsl:value-of select="$Length"/>
    </xsl:element>
    <xsl:element name="EndPosition">
        <xsl:value-of select="$Content"/>
    </xsl:element>
    <xsl:element name="XmlNode">
        <xsl:value-of select="$Format"/>
    </xsl:element>
</Request>.
</xsl:template>

You can't access these variables outside the for-each but you can define them with a specific XPath expression such as Actually the value is always 'MANDATORY' if such an attribute exists...

You want

<xsl:variable name="Length"
   select="../../Check/Node[@Name = 'LENGTH']"/>

and similarly for the other three variables.

Hi,
When i am using
           <xsl:if test="@name='MANDATORY'">
                <xsl:variable name="Mandatory" select="@name"/>
            </xsl:if>
I am getting values in Mandatory variable but now i want to use this variable to check some condition , How to to that because when i m trying to access this variable outside for-each then variable is blank.

You have to do it the other way around

<xsl:variable name="x">
  <xsl:if test="Y">
    <xsl:value-of select="Z"/>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:variable>
