Maryam ShafieSubject: Reading multiple XML files
Author: Maryam Shafie

My stylesheet reads two input XML files. I need to have an opening (eg: <ABC>) and matching ending tag (eg: </ABC>), but I do not want to have the end tag to be written after the first file is transformed, I want to write the end tags after the second file has been read in.

Can anybody help me with that? Thanks.

Hi Maryam,

you didn't post the XSLT so here is a general way to do it

Ivan
Stylus Studio Team

<xsl:template match="/">
<ABC>
<xsl:apply-templates select="document('file:///c:/myfile-1.xml')"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="document('file:///c:/myfile-2.xml')"/>
</ABC>
</xsl:template>

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for your reply. Would it be possible for you to look at the code?

Here it is:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>
<!--Source_XML:XXXX.xml -->
<!--Source_XML:YYYY.xml -->
<!--Target_Filename:AAAA.xml -->
<!--:-->

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

<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:apply-templates select="YYYY_Records" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="XXXX_Records" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="YYYY_Records">
<xsl:apply-templates select="YYY" />
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="XXXX_Records">
<xsl:apply-templates select="XXX" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="XXX">
These are from XXXX.xml file:
<ABI><xsl:value-of select="ABIValue"/></ABI>
<xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
<DDBI><xsl:value-of select="DDBIValue"/></DDBI>
<xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="YYY">
These are from YYYY.xml file:
<ETSI><xsl:value-of select="ETSIVallue"/></ETSI>
<xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
<TDFD><xsl:value-of select="TDFDValue"/></TDFD>
<xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I want the output be like this:

<ABC>
<ABI> .... </ABI> -- From XXXX.xml --
<DDBI> ....</DDBI> -- From XXXX.xml --
<ABI> ....</ABI> -- From YYYY.xml --
<DDBI> ....</DDBI> -- From YYYY.xml --
</ABC>

But no matter where I put the ABC tags, I get an error. Because it wants to see the open and the end tags within the same template.
Thanks for you help.

Change your root template to look like this, so that the two
apply-template instructions are between <ABC> and </ABC>.

<xsl:template match="/">
<ABC>
<xsl:apply-templates select="YYYY_Records" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="XXXX_Records" />
</ABC>
</xsl:template>
