oracle xml counting nodes
Hello Jay,

if you want to process the category nodes, why you go directly to the topic nodes?

<xsl:template match="root">
	<xsl:apply-templates select="category"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="category">
	<xsl:value-of select="@value"/>
	<xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="topic">
	<xsl:text>    </xsl:text>
	<xsl:value-of select="@value"/>
	<xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

In general it's bad coding to use //. Try to specify the path more exactly.

Regards,

Joerg

excellent...

now if you can just tell me how I get the category of the topic.

output would need to be something like

  Category1
     topic1
     topic2
     topic3
     topic4

  Category2
     topic1
     topic2

Do you see where I'm going with this? Thanks for the help.

Jay

Hello Jay,

I've got a need to limit the amount of ouput generated in a translation.

Assume the following xml

<category value="category1">
 <topic value="topic1"/>
 <topic value="topic2"/>
 <topic value="topic3"/>
</category>
<category value="category2">
 <topic value="topic1"/>
 <topic value="topic2"/>
 <topic value="topic3"/>
</category>

How would I limit my total number of topics output to say 4 topics? This

is straight forward in code, but not sure how to do it xsl?  Basically the
output would be topic1,2 and 3 from category1 and topic 1 from category 2


i've done an example in a procedural style to be clear for you, this is just one way of doing this

xml
----------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<root>

<category value="category1">
  <topic value="topic1"/>
  <topic value="topic2"/>
  <topic value="topic3"/>
</category>
<category value="category2">
  <topic value="cattopic1"/>
  <topic value="cattopic2"/>
  <topic value="cattopic3"/>
</category>

</root>

xsl
---------------------------------
<?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="//topic">


 <xsl:if test="position() &lt; 4">
 <xsl:value-of select="@value"/>
 </xsl:if>

 </xsl:for-each>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


cheers, jim fuller



Thanks,
Jay
