Does anyone know of a way to extract graphic entity paths from XML files using XSLT or any other type of language? Here is a portion of the XML I want to extract the !ENTITY PATH information from: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE mpc SYSTEM "C:xmlmpcxmlmpc.dtd" [ <!ENTITY mh65d2210032a31 SYSTEM "G:MH65DPublication IllustrationsMPCm2214501.cgm" NDATA cgm> ]> <mpc model="65" mpcid="m2214501" type="gen"> <reas>Administrative/Operational use</reas> <office>the appropriate asset product line</office> <idinfo>......</idinfo> </mpc> Thanks in advance.

I am looking for a way to combine over 100 xml files located in the same directory into 1 xml file during transformation. I know that I can use variables to acess the data from the different files but to list each file individually is cumberson and they will be subject to change. Is there a .xml wildcard that will pull all the .xml files within a specific directory?Here is the code:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> <xsl:variable name="allxml" select="document('C:\TEST\mp200090.xml') /mpc/idinfo/cardno | document('C:\TEST\ma500010.xml') /mpc/idinfo/cardno | document('C:\TEST\mq000010.xml') /mpc/idinfo/cardno"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:for-each select="$allxml"> <mpcnum> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </mpcnum> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>Thanks in advance for your help.

My final goal is to id tasks and steps. Should look like this:XML Input file:<procblk>!--THIS IS PRELIMINARY STEPS - TASK 01--!<presteps><seqlist numstyle="alphalc"><item><paratext>TEXT</paratext></item></seqlist></presteps>!--THIS SHOULD BE TASK 02--!<procsteps><seqlist numstyle="alphalc"><title>TITLE 1</title><item><paratext>TEXT</paratext></item>!--THIS SHOULD BE TASK 03--!<seqlist numstyle="alphalc"><title>TITLE 2</title><item><paratext>TEXT</paratext></item></prosteps></problk>XML Desired Output:<task id="tk01"><title>PRELIMINARY STEPS</title><step1 id="st0101><para>TEXT</para></step1></task><task id="tk02"><title>TITLE 1</title><step1 id="st0201><para>TEXT</para></step1></task><task id="tk03"><title>TITLE 2</title><step1 id="st0301><para>TEXT</para></step1></task>Thanks for your help!

I am trying to create a global variable to number specific elements during transformation. I need to be able to count different elements throughout the original xml. The original XML would look like this:<procblk><presteps><seqlist numstyle="alphalc"><item><paratext>TEXT</paratext></item></seqlist></presteps><procsteps><seqlist numstyle="alphalc"><title>TITLE 1</title><item><paratext>TEXT</paratext></item><seqlist numstyle="alphalc"><title>TITLE 2</title><item><paratext>TEXT</paratext></item></prosteps></problk>I am trying to create a variable that will count the presteps element and the title element within the procsteps element. Based on the XML above the desired result is:<presteps> = 01TITLE1 = 02TITLE2 = 03The best I can get is 01 for each. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks that seemed to do the trick.

The original XML file is not very well structured and I do not have control over it to be able to update it.The code did not pull exactly what I wanted but I changed preceding to following and it worked, however it is still duplicating the same caution above every step 2.Thanks so much for your help. XSLT is new to me and any help is greatly appreciated.

In the final output the caution that begins "Improper seating" repeats above every step2. I need it to just show up once above the step2 that starts out "Ensure rubber pads are on clamps.".

I am in the process of writing a transformation script. I am able to get my text to come in but it is coming in multiple times. I am getting the same caution preceding every step 2 within the document.Here is my stylesheet code:<xsl:for-each select="seqlist/item"> <step2> <xsl:if test="preceding::seqlist/caution"> <caution> <para> <xsl:value-of select="$st2caution/paratext"/> </para> </caution> </xsl:if> <para> <xsl:value-of select="paratext"/> </para>Here is my original XML file:<seqlist numstyle="alphalc"> <title id="clean1">Clean and Inspect Indicator Assy F500.</title> <note id="notesor01"> <paratext> <emphasis type="bold">Statement of Relevance</emphasis> - This task prevents corroded, seized indicator assembly.</paratext> </note> <item> <paratext>Remove blower hood assembly.</paratext> <seqlist numstyle="arabic-parens"> <item> <paratext>Clean vents and hood.</paratext> </item> <item> <paratext>Inspect gasket for deteriorationor damage.</paratext> </item> <item> <paratext>Inspect fan for damage.</paratext> </item> <item> <paratext>Inspect wiring for burned, loose, or brokenconnections.</paratext> </item> </seqlist> </item> <caution> <paratext>Do not handle source lamp glass envelopes with bare fingers.

I am currently writing a transformation script and am down to the last piece. I have it transforming all the data but it is pulling it out of sequence. Here is the code:<xsl:template match="procsteps/seqlist"> <xsl:variable name="taskNum"> <xsl:number value="position()+1" format="01"/> </xsl:variable> <task id="tk{$functionNum}{$taskNum}"> <title> <xsl:value-of select="translate(./title,'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz','ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ')"/> </title> <xsl:for-each select="./warning"> <warning> <para> <xsl:value-of select="paratext"/> </para> </warning> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:for-each select="./caution"> <caution> <para> <xsl:value-of select="paratext"/> </para> </caution> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:for-each select="./note"> <note> <para> <xsl:value-of select="paratext"/> </para> </note> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:for-each select="./item"> <xsl:variable name="stepNum"> <xsl:number count="item" format="01"/> </xsl:variable> <step1 id="st{$functionNum}{$taskNum}{$stepNum}"> <xsl:if test="./warning"> <warning> <para> <xsl:value-of select="warning/paratext"/> </para> </warning> </xsl:if> <xsl:if test="./caution"> <caution> <para> <xsl:value-of select="caution/paratext"/> </para> </caution> </xsl:if> <xsl:if test="./note"> <note> <para> <xsl:value-of select="note/paratext"/> </para> </note> </xsl:if> <para> <xsl:value-of select="paratext"/> </para>It pulls all the warnings, cautions and notes text but it is putting it at the top I need it to place it above the step where it from. Is there a way for it to pull the text but not sort it? Can anyone help?
