david knightSubject: selecting data into node set between two values
Author: david knight

Sorry if this is an extremely simple question, but I'm about as new to XML/XSL as you can be. I have the following XML, and need to select the data into chunks based upon a "change item" node having an "action_name" of "Create Order". So, in this data, there would be three chunks: one before the first create order, one between the two create orders and then the remaining data. I just can't figure out how to match it.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<transaction>
<change_history>
<change_item action_var_name="_open_quote_process" action_name="Open Quote" />
<change_item action_var_name="save_quote" action_name="Save" change_date="2007-11-29 15:38:35">
<discount_line document_number="2" old_value="10.0" new_value="0.0" />
<discount_line document_number="6" old_value="10.0" new_value="0.0" />
</change_item>
<change_item action_var_name="_update_line_items" action_name="Update Price" change_date="2007-11-29 15:38:41">

</change_item>

One way is to use generate-id.
Another way is to use key.
I like the key method personally:
<xsl:key name="CreateIndex" match="change_item_action" use="generate-id(preceding-sibling::change_item_action[
@action_name='Create Order'][1])"/>

1st chunk:
<xsl:for-each select="key('CreateIndex', '')">
...
</xsl:for-each>

Subsequent chunks
<xsl:for-each select="change_item_action[
@action_name='Create Order']>
<Chunk>
<xsl:for-each select="key('CreateIndex', generate-id())"/>
</Chunk>
</xsl:for-each>
