Re: How to implement Divide and Conquer Algo on this t

Hi,

Thanks a lot for showing me efficient way of finding unique attribute names 
for the attributes.

Since the algorithm which i used is at many places throughtout my solution. 
And further processing was based on the output of that template i.e. unique 
names seperated with delimiter like this.

Applying the method shown below how do i get the unique names in a variable 
like
"a`b`c`m`X`Y`Z"

Actually i was getting output like this and I was doing further processing 
based on the output in the form like above.

So could you please tell me how do i get that in the variable and store it as 
shown above.

Thanks once again for your help.
Eagerly waiting for your reply.

Regards
Dipesh

>Here's an example how to use the Muenchian method for grouping in order to 
obtain the unique attributes' names:


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

<xsl:output method="text"/>

<xsl:key name="kattNames"
match="firstNode/secondNode/@*" use="name()"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each
select="*/*/*/@*[generate-id()
=
generate-id(key('kattNames', name())[1])
]">
<xsl:value-of select="concat(name(), '&#xA;')"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

When this transformation is applied on the source.xml below:

<root>
<firstNode>
<secondNode a="x" b="y" c ="z"/>
<secondNode a="x" m="y" c ="z"/>
</firstNode>
<firstNode>
<secondNode a="x" X="y" c ="z"/>
<secondNode a="x" m="y" c ="z"/>
</firstNode>
<firstNode>
<secondNode Y="x" b="y" c ="z"/>
<secondNode a="x" m="y" Z ="z"/>
</firstNode>
</root>

the correct result is produced:

a
b
c
m
X
Y
Z


Hope this helped.
