Hi,

I'm a very green newbie. I need to create a XSLT transformation.
My source XML will have a code & I need to lookup the description. The codes and descriptions are in an external XML file which looks like

<Inventory>
<row Aux2="52438231" Partno="ABC123"/>
<row Aux2="9400581022940" Partno="TEL234"/>
<row Aux2="9400581020113" Partno="I45JU66HH"/>
<row Aux2="9400581018547" Partno="QWEERTY55"/>
</Inventory>

The source contains the Aux2 value & I need to return the Partno.

It is exactly like the Lookup List already available in Sytlus Studio but my list is in an external XML file, formatted like above (much longer!).

Thanks for your help in advance.

If the key is in $key, then to look up you could do something like

<xsl:value-of select="doc('file:///c:/inventory.xml')/Inventory/row[@Aux2 = $key]/@Partno"/>

If you're looking up things often, you might want to use xsl:key.

Thanks, but that suggestion gave me an error
xsl:template match="/" ...in Untitled1.xsl (line 22)

How would I use the xsl:key?

Would it be easier if I gave you a source xsd & xml sample, plus the target xsd and the lookup xml?

If it's small, yes. :)

Attached is the source - both a xsd and a sample xml file.
I've also included the target xsd and a sample lookup file.
Also is a image of the mapper showing kinda what I'm after. I think it's really simple for an expert but this newbie has been struggling for about a week on this!

Thanks for your help.

Tony,

I know you're probably flat chat but have you had the chance to look at the attachment from my earlier post above? I'm getting really desperate.

I reckon it must be so easy for a XML guru, but I've just wasted another day trying to nut it out myself. Help!

Anyone else?

Try this.

Woo hoo! That seems to work well!

I just needed to include a for-each loop & work out the correct syntax for dealing with that.

I now have a problem in that the software which calls the translation does not have the EnableDocumentFunction set, so I'm getting an error from the software that Document() function was prohibited. Anyway, the xsl is actually working. To me that's a pretty big milestone.

Thanks so much for your help.
