Re: XSLT grouping(?) issue

Here is a different algorithm, than Mike

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                       version="2.0">

  <xsl:output method="text" />

  <xsl:template match="Orders">
    <xsl:for-each-group select="*" group-starting-with="StartOrderGroup">
      <xsl:text>&#xa;Order&#xa;</xsl:text>
      <xsl:text>-----&#xa;</xsl:text>
      <xsl:variable name="curr-group" select="current-group()" />
      <xsl:variable name="indx" select="index-of(for $x in $curr-group
return $x/local-name(), 'EndOrderGroup')" />
      <xsl:for-each select="$curr-group[position() &gt; 1 and
position() &lt; $indx]">
        <xsl:value-of select="local-name()" /> - <xsl:value-of
select="Id" /><xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:for-each-group>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
