Cardician LegerdemainSubject: Display two values on one line?
Author: Cardician Legerdemain

Hello,

I've looked high and low and can't seem to find an example of what I'm trying to do. Here is my basic XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE DOC SYSTEM "/dtd/example.dtd">
<DOC>
<METADATA>
<BOOKS>
<US-BOOKS>
<INFO>
<CONTROLSYSTEM CONTROL="Blah"></CONTROLSYSTEM>
<CONTROLSYSTEM CONTROL="Xyz"></CONTROLSYSTEM>
</INFO>
</US-BOOKS>
</BOOKS>
</METADATA>
</DOC>

What I want to do, is while pulling values out with XSLT, put the two Control values on one line seperated by a comma. So the output would be:

Info: Blah, Xyz

Here is what I've tried so far:

<xsl:template match="DOC">
<xsl:for-each select="METADATA/BOOKS/US-BOOKS/INFO">
Info: <xsl:value-of select="@CONTROL"/>, <xsl:text/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

This will print the Info: part and a comma, but does not print any values. Can anyone offer any insight? This seems like it would be simple to do yet no matter what combinations of things I try I cannot get it to display propery, or at all. Thank you.

The following should do

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:for-each select="DOC/METADATA/BOOKS/US-BOOKS/INFO">
<xsl:value-of select="concat('Info: ',
CONTROLSYSTEM[1]/@CONTROL, ', ' ,
CONTROLSYSTEM[2]/@CONTROL)"/><xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Is there any way to make the code just get and concatenate however many there happen to be? There could only be one, or there could be three or more.<br> <br> Thank you though, that was helpful in pointing me closer to the answer I'm looking for.

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="DOC/METADATA/BOOKS/US-BOOKS/INFO">
<xsl:text>Info: </xsl:text>
<xsl:for-each select="CONTROLSYSTEM/@CONTROL">
<xsl:if test="position() &gt; 1"><xsl:text>, </xsl:text></xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>

</xsl:template>
