Re: Excluding matches - still having problems

Hi,

I now have a question (now that my exclusions are working) about my addval
template.
This template simply return the current submitid followed by a comma.  It
ignores the comma if the position of the xml document is last (don't want a
trailing comma).  However, since I am excluding certain submitids, if the
last submitid is excluded, I end up with a trailing comma!
So, the question is... how to avoid the trailing comma, or maybe there is a
better place in my template to add the comma.  I was thinking of adding the
comma before calling the addval template (or in the beginning of the addval
template), but then I'm up against the same dilemna, possibly having a
leading comma.
Hmmm... is there a way to determine if any output has been generated by the
stylesheet, and to only lead off with a comma if there is previous output?

Thanks,
Karl
