You are very close to a solution.
Thank you for supplying working documents so as to quickly illustrate the repair. At 2009-08-04 21:25 -0400, Stanislav Peja wrote: I am transforming data from a database into an XML format. I want to run the transformation only on a subset of all records I have available. I put identifiers for those records that I want to transform in a simple external XML file, which I would like to use as filter.
"Only those records should be transformed where document(acquisition- nums.xml)//acqnum matches each tuple's atom[@name='ObjAccessionNo']." This has a slightly different spin that solves the problem. The way I constructed the test does not work and the whole set from the source file is transformed. Because you are processing every tuple when any tuple matches the criteria. I got stuck on this and can't move further. I appreciate any hint or help on this. I am using Saxon B 9.1.0.7. This is what I first changed that to: <xsl:for-each select="tuple"> <xsl:if test="atom[@name='ObjAccessionNo']=$acq-num/items/acqnum"> <xsl:apply-templates select="."/> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> ... and then made that more succinct by saying: <collection> <xsl:apply-templates select="tuple[atom[@name='ObjAccessionNo']= $acq-num/items/acqnum]"/> </collection> I hope this helps. . . . . . . . . . . .
