I was looking for the answer to this without any luck. I'm sure I forgot the answer somewhere. However, I am trying to print / display a subset of xml values as a comma-separated list. Here is an example of what I'm trying to do,
XML Doc.
<vehicle> <car new="y"> <yr>2012</yr> <make>Ford</make> <model>Mustang</model> <color>Blue</color> </car> <car new="y"> <yr>2012</yr> <make>Chevy</make> <model>Camaro</model> <color>Red</color> </car> <car new="y"> <yr>2012</yr> <make>Subaru</make> <model>Impreza</model> <color>White</color> </car> <car new="n"> <yr>2000</yr> <make>Toyota</make> <model>Tacoma</model> <color>Silver</color> </car> <car new="n"> <yr>1998</yr> <make>Dodge</make> <model>Durango</model> <color>Green</color> </car> </vehicle>
XSL DOC ..
<?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="html"/> <xsl:template match="/" > <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles2.css" /> </head> <body> <h2> New Cars </h2> <p> <xsl:for-each select="vehicle/car"> <xsl:sort select="./yr" data-type="text" order="ascending" /> <xsl:if test="./@new='y'"> <xsl:value-of select="yr" /> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="make" /> <xsl:text> - </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="model" /> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </p> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
So, in this example, I want to select all the “new” cars and put them in a comma-separated list and not have a comma after the last item in the list.
I cannot use xsl:if test="position() != last()> , since the position of the" last "" new "car cannot be the" last "position in xml. I would prefer it to be done in xml version 1.0.
Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks in advance!
Output Example:
2012 Ford Mustang, 2012 Chevy Camaro, 2012 Subaru Impreza
