I am trying to duplicate a value within another one already existing that is different everytime using xmlstarlet and I don't find a way to do it. Here's a example:
Current XML:
<MsgList>
<Msg N="/Workflow/StateObject" I="0" T="03 May 2012 09:32:32.795000" S="Inquiry" D="Inquiry">
<M N="eventid">999999</M>
<M N="hist-time">19 Oct 2017 10:50:35 Etc/UTC</M>
<M N="hist-user">System</M>
<M N="key">1</M>
<M N="key-so">357251</M>
<G N="_StateObject">
<F N="CurrentState" T="N">44</F>
<F N="Version" T="S">16.16</F>
<F N="Status" T="S">OK</F>
</G>
</Msg>
<Msg N="/Workflow/StateObject" I="0" T="05 Feb 2013 15:26:32.971000" S="Inquiry" D="Inquiry">
<M N="eventid">999999</M>
<M N="hist-time">19 Oct 2017 10:50:36 Etc/UTC</M>
<M N="hist-user">System</M>
<M N="key">2</M>
<M N="key-so">618751</M>
<G N="_StateObject">
<F N="CurrentState" T="N">44</F>
<F N="Version" T="S">16.16</F>
<F N="Status" T="S">OK</F>
</G>
</Msg>
</MsgList>
Desired XML:
<MsgList>
<Msg N="/Workflow/StateObject" I="0" T="03 May 2012 09:32:32.795000" S="Inquiry" D="Inquiry">
<M N="eventid">999999</M>
<M N="hist-time">19 Oct 2017 10:50:35 Etc/UTC</M>
<M N="hist-user">System</M>
<M N="key">357251</M>
<M N="key-so">357251</M>
<G N="_StateObject">
<F N="CurrentState" T="N">44</F>
<F N="Version" T="S">16.16</F>
<F N="Status" T="S">OK</F>
</G>
</Msg>
<Msg N="/Workflow/StateObject" I="0" T="05 Feb 2013 15:26:32.971000" S="Inquiry" D="Inquiry">
<M N="eventid">999999</M>
<M N="hist-time">19 Oct 2017 10:50:36 Etc/UTC</M>
<M N="hist-user">System</M>
<M N="key">618751</M>
<M N="key-so">618751</M>
<G N="_StateObject">
<F N="CurrentState" T="N">44</F>
<F N="Version" T="S">16.16</F>
<F N="Status" T="S">OK</F>
</G>
</Msg>
</MsgList>
"key" needs to have the same value of "key-so"; my xslt file now is this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:attribute name="xgenkey">
<xsl:text>for pros</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
It's possible to do it? How can I do that using this tools?
Your second template should really the M
element which has a N
attribute of "key"
<xsl:template match="M[@N='key']">
Then, inside the template, to replace the value, you can get the new value like this (where ..
represents the parent node)
<xsl:value-of select="../M[@N='key-so']" />
Try this XSLT
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="M[@N='key']">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*" />
<xsl:value-of select="../M[@N='key-so']" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Actually, you could simplify it slightly, by matching the child text node directly. This would also work (assuming M[@N='key']
always had a child text node present).
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="M[@N='key']/text()">
<xsl:value-of select="../../M[@N='key-so']" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
