RE: checking for element in CDATA

Hello,

A CDATA section is treaten as a normal text node. So the stylesheet returns
the text in the CDATA section.
On the returned text you can use the contains() method to check if your text
is available.

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

	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:apply-templates select="element/example"/>
	</xsl:template>
	
	<xsl:template match="element/example">
		<xsl:variable name="CDATASection">
			<xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
		</xsl:variable>
		<xsl:if
test="contains($CDATASection,'&lt;ArticleHistory&gt;')">
			TRUE
		</xsl:if>
	</xsl:template>
	</xsl:stylesheet>

Kind regards,
Ismaël

Subject:  checking for element in CDATA


Hallo everyone,
I have write a xsl to check if there is an element
present in CDATA, how to do this.
Here is an example
<element name="ArticleHistory">
   <example><![CDATA[<ArticleHistory>
      <RegistrationYear>2001</RegistrationYear>
      <Received>
         <Year>1999</Year>
         <Month>9</Month>
         <Day>7</Day>
       </Received>
   </ArticleHistory>]]>
  </example>
</element>

so here I have to check if <ArticleHistory> is present
inside CDATA.
How to do this?
Thanx,
Sri
