Hi, If i have a XML stucture like so: <A> <B> </B> <C> <D name=test num=3> </D> <E> <F name=one ref=test> <G></G> <G></G> <G></G> </F> <F name=two ref=test> <G></G> <G></G> </F> </A> how can i write a schematron rule to test that each <F> element has the right number of <G> elements in it with respect to the value of the num attribute in the <D> element with the same name as that of the <F> elements ref attribute. so with respect to the above example <F> elements one and two both have ref "pointing" to element <D> test, where num=3 so both <F> elements should have 3 <G> elements so in this case <F> two should signal an error when the schematron rule is run. In terms of the schematron rule: <sch:pattern name="Correct number of G in F."> <sch:rule context="/"> <sch:assert test="????">Incorrect number of G.</sch:assert> </sch:rule> </sch:pattern> what would be in the test attribute? also i would like to work with absolute paths if possible. ive tried all sorts of things using //F[count(G) = etc etc but i just cant seem to get something working. any help would be greatly appreciated thanks Paul Popiel Software Engineer Advanced Engine Components Limited 14 Energy St, Malaga WA 6090 Fax: +61 8 9209 6999 Mob: 0412 657 051 mailto:paulp@a... http://www.advancedengine.com ********************************************************************** This email is confidential.
