XML / XSL

use @ to get to attributes: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">  <xsl:output method="text" encoding="iso-8859-1" indent="no" />  <xsl:template match="data">   <xsl:apply-templates select="item"/>  </xsl:template>  <xsl:template match="item">   - <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>  </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> "When the only tool you have is a hammer, a sore thumb you will have."

Thank you, it works! Yours sincerely, Alex Bash

Yes, I'm using the latest release. I've switched back to version 4 to get around the symbol clash. Thanks for your help! /ravi Let's put "civil" back in "civilization" http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com

See this link[^] that explains how to do this, as well as other standard operations using MSXML. /ravi Let's put "civil" back in "civilization" http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com

Shane, I use this Yahoo link[^]. I'm hoping to turn this into a WRP[^] one of these days. /ravi Let's put "civil" back in "civilization" http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com

Ah ha. I've been reading up on XQuery vs. XSL, and I find it quite interesting (and quite obtuse). Thanks for this tidbit! Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

some good software is at http://www.antennahouse.com[^] you will have to use interop, or shell the exe - but its a nice product and pretty conformant to the standard. "When the only tool you have is a hammer, a sore thumb you will have."

yes its part of the standard - comes under 7.6.2 Attribute Value Templates http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xslt-19991116#dt-attribute-value-template[^] "When the only tool you have is a hammer, a sore thumb you will have."

Mr. Manager:;) It's a "perfect XML", thank you!

thanks alot! the pattern works... meng

http://www.antennahouse.com/[^] "When the only tool you have is a hammer, a sore thumb you will have."

this makes no sense, please give us more detail of what you are trying to do "When the only tool you have is a hammer, a sore thumb you will have."

<xsl:sort select="@attribute_name" order="descending" data-type="number" />

Yes, MSXML should work, you can use SetText(), etc. Shog9 ------ No one's immune now, from a world of problems No one's exempt now, from a world of pain That's the way that it goes when you're down here with the rest of us...
