Travis MallowSubject: Selecting elements based on order
Author: Travis Mallow

I'm working on an xslt which must select elements based on their order.

ie.

<a>1</a>
<b>2</b>
<b>3</b>
<c>4</c>
<b>5</b>
<b>6</b>
<d>7</d>

I'm trying to figure out how to select only the <b/> elements which come
after the <a/> and before the <c/>. Using following-sibling I get all
of the <b/>'s which come after the <a/> including the ones that
I don't need after the <c/>. Any ideas on how to accomplish
this? Thanks alot for any help.

I assume you use a, b,c as an example, not meaning the aphabatic order.

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

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="/test/a/following-sibling::*">
<xsl:if test="/test/c/preceding-sibling::*[current()=.]">
//do what ever you want
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Perfect, thanks so much - that works like a charm!

You're right, I was using a, b, and c as examples (nothing to do with
alphabetical).
