Assign to <xsl:variable> after thedecleration

问题:

I am using the below way to assign value to a variable.

<xsl:variable name="NewValue">   <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(//root/id/amount)"/> </xsl:variable> 

After the assignment I want to assign new value to the same variable. Like this:-

<xsl:variable name="NewValue" select="normalize-space(//root/id/amountnew)"> 

Is there any way for this?

Here the sample of XML that I have:

<VolLien>   <Vest_DocType>SDD</Vest_DocType>   <Vest_Instrument>395072</Vest_Instrument>   <Vest_OfOfficialEntity>eee</Vest_OfOfficialEntity>   <Vest_RecDate>12/24/2009</Vest_RecDate>   <Vest_Grantee1>abc dd</Vest_Grantee1>   <Vest_Grantor1>sss</Vest_Grantor1>   <Vest_RejectCode />   <Vest_RejectReason />    <Vest_ImageNum> </Vest_ImageNum> </VolLien> 

My problem is I need to get latest <Vest_RecDate> of particular <Vest_DocType>(say SDD) And then I need to search across the xml any date which is before <Vest_RecDate> of this(same SDD).

If then raise that particular section(<VolLien>) alone and again latest. If I could have reassignment I would position of the node and get the values associated to that. Now I am doing this using another loop. If something is there I can avoid extrs loops.

回答1:

No. XSLT variables are read-only. They cannot be assigned multiple times.

XSLT is not an imperative programming language like, say, PHP. Reassigning variables is both impossible and unnecessary.

EDIT: According to your comment:

My problem is I need to get latest of particular <Vest_DocType> (say SDD) and then I need to search across the xml any date which is before <Vest_RecDate> of this (same SDD).

here is an XSLT snippet that can do this for you:

<!-- a key to retrieve all <VolLien> nodes of a particular DocType --> <xsl:key name="VolLien-by-DocType" match="VolLien" use="Vest_DocType" />  <xsl:template match="/">   <xsl:call-template name="latest-VolLien">     <xsl:with-param name="DocType" select="'SDD'" />   </xsl:call-template> </xsl:template>  <!-- this template processes specified <VolLien> nodes in the right order --> <xsl:template name="latest-VolLien">   <xsl:param name="DocType" select="''" />    <xsl:for-each select="key('VolLien-by-DocType', $DocType)">     <!-- sorting is a little complicated because you           use dd/mm/yyyy instead of yyyymmdd -->     <xsl:sort        select="         number(substring(Vest_RecDate, 7, 4)) +          number(substring(Vest_RecDate, 4, 2)) +          number(substring(Vest_RecDate, 1, 2))       "       data-type="number"     />     <!-- do something with last <VolLien> (in date order) -->     <xsl:if test="position() = last()">       <xsl:apply-templates select="." />     </xsl:if>   </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template>  <xsl:template match="VolLien">   <!-- this template will actually process the nodes,        do whatever you want here --> </xsl:template>

Further addition to previous answers: you're trying to solve some problem using low-level imperative techniques that you have learnt from other programming languages. To help you solve the problem using the declarative approach appropriate to XSLT, we will need a description of the problem. Make it as high level as possible - describe the output as a function of the input, rather than describing the computational steps you think are needed to get from one to the other.

Addition to Tomalak's answer.

A variable is limited/local to a block in which it is declared and assigned with value (declaration and assignment happen at once).

Suppose in example:

  <xsl:template match="Node1">     <xsl:variable name="test" select="'test_value'"/>     <xsl:for-each select="foo">       <xsl:variable name="var1" select="."/>       <xsl:value-of select="$var1"/>     </xsl:for-each>     <xsl:for-each select="bar">       <xsl:value-of select="$var1"/>       <!--The variable "$var1" is out of scope.. So above statement is wrong-->     </xsl:for-each>   </xsl:template>    <xsl:template match="Node2">     <xsl:value-of select="$test"/>     <!--The variable "$test" is out of scope.. So above statement is wrong too!-->   </xsl:template>
