Anne-Lie WahlbergSubject: concatenate many fields to one field via xsl
Author: Anne-Lie Wahlberg
Date: 21 Sep 2005 04:03 PM
Hi

I have a source xml-file containing a section with the following structure:

...
<Form ID="6" FormDataID="1720">
<field>
<name>Title</name>
<value>TestTitle</value>
</field>
<field>
<name>Requestor</name>
<value>Testperson</value>
</field>
<field>
<name>Email</name>
<value>testperson@somewhere.com</value>
</field>
<field>
<name>Telephone</name>
<value>0123-2345678</value>
</field>
<field>
<name>Costlocation</name>
<value>401000</value>
</field>
<field>
<name>EarlyStartDate</name>
<value>2005-05-05</value>
</field>
<field>
<name>Deliverydate</name>
<value>2005-09-21</value>
</field>
<field>
<name>Application</name>
<value>SomeApp</value>
</field>
<field>
<name>NewApplication</name>
<value>NewApp</value>
</field>
<field>
<name>Description</name>
<value>A description of some sort</value>
</field>
<field>
<name>OtherApplication</name>
<value>OtherApp</value>
</field>
<field>
<name>TimeForDelivery</name>
<value>15:00</value>
</field>
</Form>
...

The requested result in xml after a transformation through xsl is:
...
<PROPERTY NAME="REQUESTOR" TYPE="string">
<VALUE>Testperson</VALUE>
</PROPERTY>
<PROPERTY NAME="EARLYSTART" TYPE="string">
<VALUE>2005-05-05 15:00</VALUE>
</PROPERTY>
<PROPERTY NAME="DEADLINE" TYPE="string">
<VALUE>2005-09-21 12:00</VALUE>
</PROPERTY>
<PROPERTY NAME="CI" TYPE="string">
<VALUE>SomeApp</VALUE>
</PROPERTY>
<PROPERTY NAME="OTHER" TYPE="string">
<VALUE>Title&#13;&#10;TestTitle&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Email&#13;&#10;testperson@somewhere.com&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Telephone&#13;&#10;0123-2345678&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Costlocation&#13;&#10;401000&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;New application&#13;&#10;NewApp&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Description&#13;&#10;A description of some sort&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;OtherApplication&#13;&#10;OtherApp&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;</VALUE>
</PROPERTY>
...

The required fields are requestor, earlystart (earlystartdate), deadline (deliverydate), and ci (application). The mapping of theese fields are Ok.
The rest of the field elements in the source xml have to be concatenated into one element (OTHER) in the target xml.

The number of field elements will vary between runs but at least the required field elements will always be in the source xml.

For now I have the following solution

...
<xsl:for-each select="Form/field">
...
<PROPERTY NAME="OTHER" TYPE="string">
<VALUE>
<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="$cr" />
<xsl:value-of select="value"/>
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="$cr" />
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="$cr" />
</VALUE>
</PROPERTY>
</xsl:for-each>
...
and it gives me the following result:
...
<PROPERTY NAME="OTHER" TYPE="string">
<VALUE>New Application&#13;&#10;NewApp&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;</VALUE>
</PROPERTY>
<PROPERTY NAME="OTHER" TYPE="string">
<VALUE>Description&#13;&#10;A description of some sort&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;</VALUE>
</PROPERTY>
<PROPERTY NAME="OTHER" TYPE="string">
<VALUE>Other application&#13;&#10;OtherApp&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;</VALUE>
</PROPERTY>
...
If anybody can help me I'd be really happy, I'm out of ideas :o(

Thank's in advance

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<ROOT>
<xsl:for-each select="Form/field[ name = 'Requestor' or name = 'EarlyStartDate' or name = 'Deliverydate' or name = 'Application']">
<PROPERTY NAME="{name}" TYPE="string">
<xsl:value-of select="value"/>
</PROPERTY>
</xsl:for-each>

<PROPERTY NAME="OTHER" TYPE="string">

<xsl:for-each select="Form/field[name != 'Requestor' and name != 'EarlyStartDate' and name != 'Deliverydate' and name != 'Application']">
<xsl:value-of select="name"/><xsl:text>
</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="value"/><xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</PROPERTY>
</ROOT>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


Hope this helps
