Hi All,

Please bare with me im a network engineer rather than a coder, but have had to turn my hand to this for a project im working on, any chance someone could help me with what I hope will be a simple XSLT question. Given the snippet of xml shown below

[code]
<resources>
<audio>
<file>
<name>file1.mp3</name>
</file>
</audio>

<audio>
<file>
<name>file1_preview.mp3</name>
</file>
</audio>

<audio>
<file>
<name>file1_wav.wav</name>
</file>
</audio>
</resources>
[/code]
I need to find a way to select only the wav file dynamically each time and ignore the other two currently I have the following but clearly it just selects the first one.
[code]
<xsl:for-each select="resources/audio/file">

<MainFile>
<Filename>
<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
</Filename>
</MainFile>

</xsl:for-each>
[/code]
Is it possible to do something like
[code]
<xsl:if test="@name = '*.wav'">
[/code]
Really sorry but im out of my depth here and getting really frustrated as nothing I try works.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

This is verbose but hopefully, more self-explanatory solution

XML input

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<resources>
<audio>
<file>
<name>file1.mp3</name>
</file>
</audio>

<audio>
<file>
<name>file1_preview.mp3</name>
</file>
</audio>

<audio>
<file>
<name>file1_wav.wav</name>
</file>
</audio>
</resources>

XSLT 1.0 Tranformation

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

<xsl:variable name="ext" select="'.wav'"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<MainFile>
<xsl:for-each select="resources/audio/file">
<xsl:variable name="start" select="string-length(name) - string-length($ext) + 1 "/>
<xsl:variable name="file_ext" select="substring(name, $start, 4)"/>
<xsl:if test="$file_ext = $ext">
<Filename start="{$file_ext}">
<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
</Filename>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</MainFile>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Result

<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<MainFile>
<Filename start=".wav">file1_wav.wav</Filename>
</MainFile>
