Here is my current solution, which is definitely an improvement over my earlier solution. I hadnbt realized (or it didnbt occur to me) that I could use for-each-group on maps. Using for-each-group and grouping by a specific field is certainly easy and straightforward: For this data, the paths provide the course details, in particular, course ID and locale. I also have to eliminate config.xml files that are not the ones Ibm looking for, which I do just by counting the number of tokens in the path. <xsl:variable name="candidate-configs" as="map(*)*" select="collection($courses-dir || '?recurse=yes;metadata=yes;match=config.xml')" /> <!-- Select configurations that are in the appropriate locale and that are course configurations and not course content configurations (config.xml is used both for course description and within the course content directory). Result is a sequence of maps, one for each selected candidate course. --> <xsl:variable name="configs-to-use" as="map(*)*"> <xsl:for-each select="$candidate-configs"> <xsl:variable name="cand" as="map(*)" select="."/> <xsl:variable name="path-base" as="xs:string" select="$cand?name"/> <xsl:variable name="path" as="xs:string" select="substring-after($path-base, $courses-dir || '/')"/> <xsl:variable name="tokens" as="xs:string*" select="tokenize($path, '/')"/> <xsl:variable name="course-group" as="xs:string" select="$tokens[1]"/> <xsl:variable name="course-id" as="xs:string" select="$tokens[2]"/> <xsl:variable name="locale" as="xs:string" select="$tokens[3]"/> <xsl:variable name="version" as="xs:string" select="$tokens[4]"/> <xsl:variable name="new-map" as="map(*)" select=" map{ 'course-group' : $course-group, 'course-id' : $course-id, 'locale' : $locale, 'version' : $version, 'course-key' : ($course-group, $course-id) => string-join('^'), 'course-key-locale' : ($course-group, $course-id, $locale) => string-join('^') }" /> <xsl:if test="(empty($locales) or (exists($locales) and $locale = $locales)) and count($tokens) eq 6"> <xsl:sequence select="map:merge((., $new-map))"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:variable> <!-- Now group by course ID and locale in order to select the highest version of each course. --> <xsl:variable name="course-configs-by-course-key-locale" as="map(xs:string, map(*))"> <xsl:map> <xsl:for-each-group select="$configs-to-use" group-by=".?course-key-locale"> <xsl:variable name="courses-for-locale" as="map(*)*" select="current-group()"/> <xsl:variable name="highest-version" as="xs:string" select="$courses-for-locale ! map:get(., 'version') ! xs:double(.) => max() => format-number('#.0')" /> <xsl:variable name="course-map" as="map(*)*" select=" $courses-for-locale ! (if (map:get(., 'version') eq $highest-version) then . else () )" /> <xsl:sequence select="map:entry(current-grouping-key(), $course-map)"/> </xsl:for-each-group> </xsl:map> </xsl:variable> Cheers, E. -- Eliot Kimber http://contrext.com From: "Mukul Gandhi gandhi.mukul@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: <xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Saturday, July 7, 2018 at 2:01 AM To: <xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Techniques for Sorting and Reducing Maps in XSLT 3/XPath 3?

The reason is largely that i think it encourage thinking in terms of a functional mapping rather than an imperative loop, and that can help clarity of thought. I'm still not up to speed with using XSLT 3.0 (but I'm trying to). But I agree with your point Liam. -- Regards, Mukul Gandhi XSL-List info and archive EasyUnsubscribe (by email)
