Peter RobertSubject: Search a sequence of siblings (for each ??) within a delimited range
Author: Peter Robert

Hi,

I need to treat the result of flat file conversion, which results in a flat XML structure.

Now, I want to grab each occurence of 3 elements within a certain delimited range (between each LETTERHEAD, as this is the delimiter).

As of now, I'm working with "following-sibling", but I'm stuck somewhat:
for $Service_dig in root/LETTERHEAD/following-sibling::*[local-name()="DSQ"][1]
let $DSD := $Service_dig/following-sibling::*[local-name()="DSD"][1]
let $DSR := $Service_dig/following-sibling::*[local-name()="DSR"][1]
return
<SERVICE_DIG>
{$DSD/SERVICE_NAME}
{$Service_dig/QUANTITY}
{$DSR/GROSSAMOUNT}
</SERVICE_DIG>

If I set the sibling position to [1], I only get the first element, although there are several (1 - x) within a letter (LETTERHEAD to next LETTERHEAD)

If I remove the sibling position, I get every DSQ sequence of the whole file.

How can I tell it to take only those until the next LETTERHEAD occurence?

Thanks

Peter

Peter,

You should be able to use a more efficient form like the following, but I am not sure about the semantic. Can you share a sample of the XML input you are trying to process

for $Service_dig in root/LETTERHEAD/following-sibling::DSQ[1]
let $DSD := ($Service_dig/following-sibling::DSD)[1]
let $DSR := ($Service_dig/following-sibling::DSR)[1]

Hope this helps

</LETTERHEAD>

Maybe the <LT> could help as well, this is the LETTERTRAILER and marks the end of a letter...
