Subject: node-set - Arrays in XSLT?

Hi all,

I want to be able to parse an XML doc and store the results in a DataStructure so I can later iterate over this e.g. Array...I read that XSLT doesnt support Arrays but theres the node-set which will let me do this looping over a subset of the xml stored in the node-set structure?

Can someone give me an example or inform me if theres any other DataStructures that would be suitable for this?

Thanks,

Minollo I.

If you use the "books.xml" file shipped as part of the example Stylus Studio project, you can, as an example, do something like this:

<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:variable name="myBooks">
<xsl:for-each select="books/book[@bookid < 3]">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>


<firstOne>
<xsl:value-of select="$myBooks[1]/book/title"/>
</firstOne>
</xsl:template>
