the XSL variable into other variable

giamba78 · July 18th, 2010, 04:12 AM

I have the problem with the XSL variable...the XSL variable into other variable...

my source:

1) (here OK!)

<xsl:variable name="pathId" select="Orders/Order[ORD_Num='0607V45621014F']"/> (global var)

<xsl:value-of select="$pathId/Receiver/REC_Name"/>

2) (here not OK!)

...create the global var;

<xsl:variable name="id">

<idNum>0607V45621014F</idNum>

</xsl:variable>

...insert in other var...

<xsl:variable name="pathId" select="Orders/Order[ORD_Num='$id/idNum']"/> (..with ' or " or null but not ok)

..in the end...but, not OK!

<xsl:value-of select="$pathId/Receiver/REC_Name"/>

other example...using the document() function...

3) (here not OK!)

...create the global var;

<xsl:variable name="XmlFile" select="YG.xml"/>

insert here...

<xsl:value-of select="document('$XmlFile')/aziende/azienda/ragione_sociale"/> (..with ' or " or null but not ok)

4) (here OK!)

<xsl:value-of select="document('YG.xml')/aziende/azienda/ragione_sociale"/>

Help me!

Thanks!

Your post is a little confusing, but I will give it a shot:

This line:

Code:

<xsl:variable name="XmlFile" select="YG.xml"/>

should be:

Code:

<xsl:variable name="XmlFile" select="'YG.xml'"/>

The select statement is looking for an xpath expression or a string. Either wrap you string in single quotes

Code:

'YG.xml'

or

Code:

string('YG.xml')

also,

Code:

<xsl:value-of select="document('$XmlFile')/aziende/azienda/ragione_sociale"/>

should be

Code:

<xsl:value-of select="document($XmlFile)/aziende/azienda/ragione_sociale"/>

When calling a variable, you do not use single quote, because it is not a string.

In this expression:

$pathId/Receiver/REC_Name

$pathId is not in quotes, and it refers to a variable whose value is a node-set. So that's fine.

In this expression:

Orders/Order[ORD_Num='$id/idNum']

$id/idnum is within quotes, so it's just a character string. If you removed the quotes, it would be OK in XSLT 2.0, but not in 1.0, because the variable $id is a result-tree-fragment rather than a node-set.

Thank you.....

My solution is:

<xsl:variable name="XmlFile" select="'YG.xml'"/>
<xsl:variable name="id" select="'0607V45621014F'"/>
<xsl:variable name="azienda" select="'azienda'"/>

"'name'" not "name" and not 'name'

<xsl:variable name="pathId" select="Orders/Order[ORD_Num=$id]"/>

<xsl:value-of select="document($XmlFile)/aziende/*[name()=$azienda]/ragione_sociale"/>
