Adam Van den HovenSubject: Selecting the last instances in a nodeset
Author: Adam Van den Hoven
Date: 21 Jan 2002 10:04 PM
Hey,

I know I've done this before but I'm drawing a blank.

In my template I create a variable (using select) that is a nodeset of property nodes from various locations in my document (but not all the property nodes in the doc). My property nodes all have a name attribute. As it turns out, I have multiple properties with the same name. I want a nodeset that is made up of one property of each name and that property is the last one of that name.

I tried using keys (a variation on the Muenchian Method for groupig) but I'm running into walls. Does anyone have any ideas?

My nodeset:
val1
val2
val3
val4
val5

I want a nodeset that is:
val2
val4
val5
(order is not important)

Any ideas?

Adam

Hi Adam,

this should work


xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">




val1
val2
val3
val4
val5




test="not(following-sibling::*[@name=current()/@name])">

Ivan,

Unfortunately its not going to work in my situation. My nodeset is created by with a select

select="//theme[@id=current()/@themeid]/property | property[@name]"

and so the following siblings axis is meaningless in this case since it refers to document not the nodeset.

I ended up using the Muenchian method (with some modifications) but now I seem to be having other problems with it.

Any more ideas would be useful.

Hi Adam

The following approach works with node-set too.


xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">




val1
val2
val3
val4
val7

val1
val8
val10
