identity transform excluding xml element

ShaileshShinde · November 2nd, 2011, 09:15 AM

Hello,

I am trying identity transformation which will also exclude one of the element with it's value. However, the template was not getting match and output xml file still contains excluded element. Can you please suggest what's gone wrong in the below sample xslt

sample xslt:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="oh"/>

</xsl:stylesheet>

input xml:
<ts-ut id="09" dttyp="x-text/html" rstyp="str">
<sr>
<oh id="1" x="b">{1}</oh>Dwnld Cter<oh id="2" x="b">{2}</oh>
</sr>
<tg>
<oh id="1" x="b">{1}</oh>
<oh id="2" x="b">{2}</oh>
</tg>

output xml:
<ts-ut id="09" dttyp="x-text/html" rstyp="str">
<sr>
Dwnld Cter
</sr>
<tg>
</tg>

Thanks.

It is hard to tell what goes wrong as neither your input "XML" nor your output "XML" is well-formed.
When I use Saxon 9.3 with the stylesheet

Code:

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="oh"/>

</xsl:stylesheet>

and the input

Code:

<ts-ut id="09" dttyp="x-text/html" rstyp="str">
<sr>
<oh id="1" x="b">{1}</oh>Dwnld Cter<oh id="2" x="b">{2}</oh>
</sr>
<tg>
<oh id="1" x="b">{1}</oh>
<oh id="2" x="b">{2}</oh>
</tg>
</ts-ut>

the result is

Code:

<ts-ut id="09" dttyp="x-text/html" rstyp="str">
   <sr>Dwnld Cter</sr>
   <tg/>
</ts-ut>

where the "oh" elements are removed.

Until you give us reliable information about what your input looks like, we can't tell you what's going wrong.

It seems you are tryinng to exclude the element 'oh', and its excluded in the output as Martin has mentioned. Please let us know the exact element you want to exclude from the output.

Sorry for delay! the input xml file looks like below...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xliff>
<file>
<header/>
<body>
<ts-ut id="01" dttyp="x-text/html" rstyp="str">

</sr>
<tg>
<oh id="1" x="b">{1}</oh>
<oh id="2" x="b">{2}</oh>
</tg>
</ts-ut>
<ts-ut id="02" dttyp="x-text/html" rstyp="str">
<sr>

You keep showing us the input, and the output you ARE getting, but you've yet to show us the output you WANT to see, as we can't tell from your description what the exact issue is.

Please show us what you want the output to look like.

ShaileshShinde · November 8th, 2011, 07:51 AM

Output file will be without excluded element like....
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xliff>
<file>
<header/>
<body>
<ts-ut id="01" dttyp="x-text/html" rstyp="str">
<sr>
Dwnld Cter
</sr>
<tg>
</tg>
</ts-ut>
<ts-ut id="02" dttyp="x-text/html" rstyp="str">
<sr>
Dwnld Cter
</sr>
<tg>
</tg>
</ts-ut>
<ts-ut id="03" dttyp="x-text/html" rstyp="str">
<sr>
Dwnld Cter
</sr>
<tg>
</tg>
</ts-ut>
<ts-ut id="04" dttyp="x-text/html" rstyp="str">
<sr>
Dwnld Cter
</sr>
<tg>
</tg>
</ts-ut>
</body>
</file>
</xliff>

If you have tried with Martin's code, you would have got the expected output. Check please.
