 I want to extract all the <c> from the following xml with uniqe values. So in the transformed, no two <c> element should have same values. This is a FFFFFFAQ. Finding uniqueness is a subset of the grouping problem, so search the web for XSLT Grouping. In our XSLT 1 training classes we teach that there are three ways to find uniqueness: using axes, using keys (the Muenchian method) http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/grouping/, and using variables http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200401/msg00070.html ... each with pros and cons: Axis method: - cons - slow, only sibling-wide or document-wide contexts Key method: - pros - fastest, filtering done in predicates - cons - document-wide context Variable method:
- pros - document wide, sub-document, or multi-document contexts
- faster than axis method
- cons - slower than key method
- filtering not done in predicatesGrouping is built in to XSLT 2 as a language feature. I hope this helps. . . . . . . . .
