Re: Writing conditional statement based on attribute

sure, sorry, more complete example:

<dsc type="combined">

<c01
level="series"><did><unittitle><unitdate></unitdate></unittitle><physdesc></physdesc></did>
<arrangement.</arrangement><scopecontent><p></p></scopecontent>

<c02
level="subseries"><did><unittitle><unitdate></unitdate></unittitle><physdesc></physdesc></did>
<arrangement.</arrangement><scopecontent><p></p></scopecontent>

<c03
level="file"><did><unittitle><unitdate></unitdate></unittitle><physdesc></physdesc></did>
<arrangement.</arrangement><scopecontent><p></p></scopecontent></c03>

<c03><did><unittitle><unitdate></unitdate></unittitle><physdesc></physdesc></did>
<arrangement.</arrangement><scopecontent><p></p></scopecontent></c03></c02></c01></dsc>

again, I am trying to format scopecontent one way where @level="series" or
"subseries" and another where @level="file" or there is no attribute level.

thanks again,
lynn

You match is saying find all scopecontent elements in dsc. Your if
statement is wrong on two counts (I think). Firstly, I think the syntax
is wrong, I think you mean 'node()[@level="series"] or node [@level =
"subseries"]' but this is incorrect as you are searching for @level in
scopecontent. You should be looking in c01, c04, etc...

Can you give a more complete and correct example? From what you have
given us, you should not be matching on scopecontent first, but on c0x
where x is a number. We need to know more about these c0x elements. How
many are there, do they follow a pattern? are there any other sort of
elements in dsc? is there a b0x element?.
