I am trying to create an XSLT that will convert an array into unique sequential elements. I am probably not explaining this correctly so I will show you:
Current XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DocumentRequests xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<PlanID>20151014_103605</PlanID>

</PlanNumbers>
</DocumentRequests>
Current XSLT

</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select="PlanNumbers">
<xsl:copy-of select="*" copy-namespaces="no"/>
</xsl:for-each>

<PlanNumber6>A06</PlanNumber6>
<PlanNumber7>456</PlanNumber7>
</SourceFeedbackTransformed>
As you can see the Array with 7 values has been converted to 7 different elements.
Thank you for your help.
Cheers,
You can get the result you're after quite easily by:
XSLT 2.0
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="/DocumentRequests">
<SourceFeedbackTransformed>
<PlanAdminID><xsl:value-of select="PlanID" /></PlanAdminID>
<xsl:copy-of select="LetterType/*" copy-namespaces="no"/>
<xsl:for-each select="PlanNumbers/PlanNumber">
<xsl:element name="PlanNumber{position()}">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</SourceFeedbackTransformed>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Note:
I have changed your:
<xsl:value-of select="PlanAdminID" />
to:
<xsl:value-of select="PlanID" />
as there is no PlanAdminID element in your input. If you really want to output an empty <PlanAdminID/> element as shown in your requested output, then you could do so directly, without fetching the value of a non-existing node.

Below is the XML Input payload. I'm looking for an xml output should have "type" element inside the each Address node. Below is the incoming request XML
<rsp:response xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:rsp="rsp.com/employee/Response/v30"
xmlns:res="res.com/Member/details/v1"
xmlns:resp="resp.com/details/v1">
<res:employee>
<resp:Employee>
<resp:FirstName>abc</resp:FirstName>
<resp:middleName></resp:middleName>
<resp:details>
<resp:Details>
<resp:type>postal</resp:type>
<resp:Addresses>
<resp:Address>
<resp:country>XYZ</resp:country>
</resp:Address>
</resp:Addresses>
</resp:Details>
<resp:Details>
<resp:type>ofc</resp:type>
<resp:Addresses>
<resp:Address>
<resp:country>XYZ</resp:country>
</resp:Address>
</resp:Addresses>
</resp:Details>
</resp:details>
</resp:Employee>
</res:employee>
</rsp:response>
Here is the XSLT used and it is not giving desired output. Using this XSLT all "type" elements is reflecting in each address block.
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:rsp="rsp.com/employee/Response/v30"
xmlns:res="res.com/Member/details/v1"
xmlns:resp="resp.com/details/v1"
version="2.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="node() | #*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node() | #*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="//*[local-name()='response']/*[local-name()='employee']/*[local-name()='Employee']/*[local-name()='details']/*[local-name()='Details']/*[local-name()='Addresses']/*[local-name()='Address']">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<xsl:for-each select="//*[local-name()='response']/*[local-name()='employee']/*[local-name()='Employee']/*[local-name()='details']/*[local-name()='Details']/*[local-name()='type']">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="//*[local-name()='response']/*[local-name()='employee']/*[local-name()='Employee']/*[local-name()='details']/*[local-name()='Details']/*[local-name()='type']"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Desired Output XML
<rsp:response
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:rsp="rsp.com/employee/Response/v30"
xmlns:res="res.com/Member/details/v1"
xmlns:resp="resp.com/details/v1">
<res:employee>
<resp:Employee>
<resp:FirstName>abc</resp:FirstName>
<resp:middleName/>
<resp:details>
<resp:Details>
<resp:Addresses>
<resp:Address>
<resp:country>XYZ</resp:country>
<resp:type>postal</resp:type>
</resp:Address>
</resp:Addresses>
</resp:Details>
<resp:Details>

</resp:details>

</res:employee>
</rsp:response>
Try it this way:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:resp="resp.com/details/v1">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<!-- identity transform -->
<xsl:template match="#*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="resp:Address">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<xsl:copy-of select="../../resp:type"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="resp:type"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Re your attempt:
There should never be a need to use a hack like *[local-name()='type'];
You should find out what // means.
I have an rss feed which is pulling from an abandoned 'Joke of the day' blog. Because the blog is no longer updating, I want to iterate through the list and display a different item each day, ideally in chronological order.
How do I identify the 'first' item in the list (the oldest post) and then show the next item each day?
The rss source is here: http://feeds.feedburner.com/DailyJokes-ACleanJokeEveryday?format=xml
The full list is here: http://dailyjokes.somelifeblog.com/
My XSL code is here, and currently displays the item at position 2, which is the most recent post:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="//item[position() < 2]"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="item">
<content-item>
<h1><xsl:value-of select="substring-before(title, ' #Joke')"/></h1>
<p><xsl:value-of select="substring-before(description, '<a href')" disable-output-escaping="yes"/></p>
</content-item>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I am surfacing this feed in a SharePoint 2013 RSS webpart
My goal is to display a different item each day but I might settle for simple randomization. Also if anybody can suggest a free or for-cost 'Joke of the day' site which is appropriate for my work intranet, that would be appreciated!
My goal is to display a different item each day
To accomplish your goal, your processor needs to know the current date.
The following is a minimized example showing how to use the date in order to retrieve a different item every day:
XML
<rss>
<channel>
<item>
<title>Alpha</title>
</item>
<item>
<title>Bravo</title>
</item>
<item>
<title>Charlie</title>
</item>
<item>
<title>Delta</title>
</item>
<item>
<title>Echo</title>
</item>
</channel>
</rss>
XSLT 1.0
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:param name="current-datetime">2017-04-27T00:00:00</xsl:param>
<xsl:template match="/rss">
<xsl:variable name="JDN">
<xsl:call-template name="JDN">
<xsl:with-param name="date" select="$current-datetime"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="n" select="count(channel/item)" />
<output>
<xsl:apply-templates select="channel/item[$JDN mod $n + 1]"/>
</output>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="item">
<item>
<xsl:value-of select="title"/>
</item>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="JDN">
<xsl:param name="date"/>
<xsl:param name="year" select="substring($date, 1, 4)"/>
<xsl:param name="month" select="substring($date, 6, 2)"/>
<xsl:param name="day" select="substring($date, 9, 2)"/>
<xsl:param name="a" select="floor((14 - $month) div 12)"/>
<xsl:param name="y" select="$year + 4800 - $a"/>
<xsl:param name="m" select="$month + 12*$a - 3"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$day + floor((153*$m + 2) div 5) + 365*$y + floor($y div 4) - floor($y div 100) + floor($y div 400) - 32045" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
In this example, the result will be:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<output>
<item>Bravo</item>
</output>

If your processor supports the EXSLT date:date-time()extension function, you can modify your stylesheet's header to:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:date="http://exslt.org/dates-and-times"
extension-element-prefixes="date">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:param name="current-datetime" select="date:date-time()"/>
For SharePoint, I am guessing you would need to use the TodayIso function in the ddwrt namespace instead.
I'm trying to modify an XLST 1.0 file and I found that I can use an array like this:
<xsl:variable name="array">
<Item>106</Item>
<Item>107</Item>
</xsl:variable>
Now I want to write an IF structure where i have a test on the amount of items in the array.
I'v tried this, but this isn't working:
<xsl:if test="count($array) = 0"></xsl:if>
Am I using the right approach for this problem?
First, there are no "arrays" in XML.
Next, count($array) in your example will always return 1, because your variable contains a single parent node. To count the child Item nodes, you would need to use count($array/Item).
However, that too would fail, because in XSLT 1.0 your variable contains a result-tree-fragment - and XSLT 1.0 can only count nodes in a node-set.
One solution is to turn the RTF into a node-set, using an extension function (which is supported by practically all XSLT 1.0 processors). For example, the following stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common"
extension-element-prefixes="exsl">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:variable name="array-rtf">
<Item>106</Item>
<Item>107</Item>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="array" select="exsl:node-set($array-rtf)" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<test>
<xsl:value-of select="count($array/Item)"/>
</test>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
returns:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test>2</test>
Another option is to use an internal element instead of a variable:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:my="http://example.com/my"
exclude-result-prefixes="my">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<my:array>
<Item>106</Item>
<Item>107</Item>
</my:array>
<xsl:template match="/">
<test>
<xsl:value-of select="count(document('')/*/my:array/Item)"/>
</test>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
As the reverse case of this post, how it's possible to transform content of an XML document to array using XSLT.
For this:
<Records>
<item>value1</item>
<item>value2</item>
<item>value3</item>
<item>value4</item>
<item>value5</item>
</Records>
The desired result is something like this:
[value1, value2, value3, value4, value5]
What's the idea?
Hope this helps..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" exclude-result-prefixes="xsl">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="countItems" select="count(Records/item)"/>
[<xsl:for-each select="Records/item">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position()=$countItems"/>
<xsl:otherwise>,</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>]
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
XSLT 1.0 can be used to generate a resultant xml,text or HTML file from the source xml file.
You can get the resultant data from the file created via XSLT
I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a simple way to change all of my strings in my xml file to arrays?
Example:
//This is the string I need to change:
<string name="sample1">value1, value2, value3, value4, value5</string>
//This is the way I need it to be:
<array name="sample1">
<item>value1</item>
<item>value2</item>
<item>value3</item>
<item>value4</item>
<item>value5</item>
</array>
My problem is not that I do not know how to manually do it. But I am looking for a way to simulate this process more easily because I have 120 strings with 25-90 values in each.
A good example would be converting multiple images extentions with a single click using an add-on to GIMP that simulates that process for you for each image.
Would anyone who understands what I am asking, know a way to do this for string to array?
This XSLT:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<array>
<xsl:attribute name="name">
<xsl:value-of select="string/#name"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</array>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="string/text()" name="tokenize">
<xsl:param name="text" select="."/>
<xsl:param name="sep" select="','"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="not(contains($text, $sep))">
<item>
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space($text)"/>
</item>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<item>
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(substring-before($text, $sep))"/>
</item>
<xsl:call-template name="tokenize">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text, $sep)"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
applied to this XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<string name="sample1">value1, value2, value3, value4, value5</string>
gives this output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<array name="sample1">
<item>value1</item>
<item>value2</item>
<item>value3</item>
<item>value4</item>
<item>value5</item>
</array>
The XSLT is using a recursive template going through your string values and splitting them at the comma.
This can be done with XSLT 2.0 as simply as:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/*">
<array name="{#name}">
<xsl:for-each select="tokenize(., ',\s*')">
<item><xsl:value-of select="."/></item>
</xsl:for-each>
</array>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When this transformation is applied on the provided XML document:
<string name="sample1">value1, value2, value3, value4, value5</string>
the wanted, correct result is produced:
<array name="sample1">
<item>value1</item>
<item>value2</item>
<item>value3</item>
<item>value4</item>
<item>value5</item>
</array>
