xsl for each following sibling
Hi Houman,

following-sibling:: always follows the source tree and the document order, not the selection and order of the for-each.

If you can explain in words what you are trying to achieve, we might be able to give some hints for an alternative approach..

Cheers,
Geert

Hello everyone,

This is the first time I am experimenting with following-sibling:: and
am already stuck in here.

I have such a code here:

<xsl:if test="/*/*[substring(name(),8) = 'MeterPulse']">	
	<xsl:element name="MeterPulseFacility">			
		<xsl:for-each select="/*/*[substring(name(),8) =
'MeterPulse']">			<xsl:value-of select=" ...some
calculations... "/>
			<xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
		</xsl:for-each>					
	</xsl:element>	
</xsl:if>

The "...some calculations..." outputs a plain number.  Following the
comma within the <xsl:text>,</xsl:text>

The output would be something like
3,2,1,

I wish to eliminate the last comma since there is no need for a further
separation.  I thought I could check if there actually is another
incoming sibling in the for-each, if yes then set the comma otherwise do
not set the comma.

<xsl:if test="/*/*[substring(name(),8) = 'MeterPulse']">	
	<xsl:element name="MeterPulseFacility">			
		<xsl:for-each select="/*/*[substring(name(),8) =
'MeterPulse']">			<xsl:value-of select=" ...some
calculations... "/>
			<xsl:if
test="substring(following-sibling::node()/name(),8) = 'MeterPulse'">
			<xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
			</xsl:if>
		</xsl:for-each>					
	</xsl:element>	
</xsl:if>

However the way I wrote it seems to be wrong:
<xsl:if test="substring(following-sibling::node()/name(),8) =
'MeterPulse'">

Any comments please?

Many thanks,
Houman
