I have an XML schema that contains the following type :
<xs:simpleType name="valuelist">
<xs:list itemType="xs:double"/>
</xs:simpleType>
A sample XML fragment would be:
<values>1 2 3.2 5.6</values>
In an XSLT transform, how do I get the number of elements in the list?
How do I iterate over the elements?
I. XPath 2.0 (XSLT 2.0) solution:
count(tokenize(., ' '))
II. XPath 1.0 (XSLT 1.0) solution:
string-length()
-
string-length(translate(normalize-space(), ' ', ''))
+ 1
As for iteration over the items of this list:
select
attribute:--
for $i in tokenize(., ' '),
$n in number($i)
return
yourXPathExpression
--
2.
In XSLT 1.0 you need to have some more code for splitting/tokenization. There are several good answers to this question (part of them mine) -- just search for something like "xslt split a string"
