Hi guys! I'm newbie in XSLT, so please bear with me. I've problem how to implement if statement where i could check plenty of exclusions in one line instead of writing all of them in line. First what I did was to put exclusion list in to XML that stylesheet is working on: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!--exception list item = conceptitem !--><exceptions> <item> <conceptName>concept1</conceptName> </item> <item> <conceptName>concept2</conceptName> </item></exceptions> Here is the code for calling the template: <xsl:variable name="res" as="element()*"> <bri:concept taxonomy="{$taxonomyKeyA}" ignorecontext="true" select="self::*[not(@name = 'hypercubeItem' or @name = 'dimensionItem')]"> <xsl:call-template name="checkDuplicates"> <xsl:with-param name="input" select="@name"/> </xsl:call-template> And the "checkDuplicates" template: <xsl:template name="checkDuplicates" match="exceptions/item"> <xsl:param name="input" required="yes" as="xs:string"/> <xsl:variable name="tes" as="xs:string ?"> <xsl:for-each select="conceptName"> <xsl:variable name="item" as="xs:string"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:message> Item: <xsl:value-of select="$item"/> </xsl:message> <xsl:if test="$input = $item"> <xsl:text>duplicate!</xsl:text> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:variable> </xsl:template> So the question is why xsl:message Item inside the xsl:for-each is not getting a text value that is between conceptName tags? I would like to mention that I don't have to use data from xml since this stylesheet is getting it via external instructions using: bri:concept method. Comments are more than welcome!
