[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Patterns in lieu of mutable variables or string trans
 A table column has various values in it that need to be translated into values that match the schema correctly. Some values could be wrong only by capitalization, others simply changed -- there's no particular patter, but set of values is rather few in number. Is there a good pattern for this? The only one that comes to mind is cascading variable declarations where each test tried: <xsl:variable name="start" select="/some/xpath/text()"/> <xsl:variable name="t1" select="if ($start eq 'foo') then 'bar' else ''"/> <xsl:variable name="t2" select="if (matches($start,'^FO.*')) then 'BAR' else $start"/> <xsl:variable name="all" select="( $t1, $t2 )"/> <xsl:variable name="finish" select="$all[not(empty(.))"/> (I don't know that the last line works at all...) Or should this be done in code, that being the idea of immutable vars (except this is in a rather large block to repeat)? <if test="$start eq 'foo'"> <value-of select="bar'> </if> Cheers, Hank -- Louis (Hank) Ratzesberger hankr@xxxxxxxx Scripps Orbit and Permanent Array Center Mailing Address: Mail Code 0225 9500 Gilman Drive University of California, San Diego La Jolla, CA 92093-0225 858-822-4472 IGPP/SIO Location: Bldg T-31 8860 Biological Grade
