I'm using XML Editor 19.1, Saxon P.E 9.7.
For each selected div, I'm looking to display a graphic/#url, following each <surface> if surface/#xml:id = div/#facs.
XSL
<xsl:for-each select="descendant-or-self::div3[#type='col']/div4[#n]">
<xsl:variable name="div4tablet" select="#facs"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="translate(.[#n]/$div4tablet, '#', '') = preceding::facsimile/surfaceGrp[#type='tablet']/surface[#n]/#xml:id">
<xsl:value-of select=""/> <!-- DISPLAY graphic/#url that follows facsimile/surfaceGrp/surface -->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise/>
</xsl:choose>
[....]
</xsl:for-each>
TEI example
<facsimile>
<surfaceGrp n="1" type="tablet">
<surface n="1.1" xml:id="ktu1-2_i_1_to_10_img">
<graphic url="../img/KTU-1-2-1-10-recto.jpg"/>
<zone xml:id=""/>
<zone xml:id=""/>
</surface>
<surface n="1.2" xml:id="ktu1-2_i_10_to_30_img">
<graphic url="../img/KTU-1-2-10-30-recto.jpg"/>
<zone xml:id=""/>
</surface>
[...]
</surfaceGrp>
<surfaceGrp n="2">
[...]
</surfaceGrp>
</facsimile>
<text>
[...]
<div3 type="col">
<div4 n="1.2.1-10" xml:id="ktu1-2_i_1_to_10" facs="#ktu1-2_i_1_to_10_img">
[...]
</div4>
<div4 n="1.2.10-30" xml:id="ktu1-2_i_10_to_30" facs="#ktu1-2_i_10_to_30_img">
[...]
</div4>
</div3>
</text>
I have tried <xsl:value-of select="preceding::facsimile/surfaceGrp[#type='tablet']/surface[#n, #xml:id]/graphic/#url"/>, but it displays all graphic/#url and not only the one that follows fascsimile/surfaceGrp/surface.
So my question: how to display only surface/graphic/#url for each div3[#type='col']/div4[#n]?
In advance, thank you for your kind help.
As you use XSLT 2 or 3 and the elements have the xml:id attribute you do not even need a key but can use the id function:
<xsl:template match="div4">
<div>
<xsl:value-of select="id(substring(#facs, 2))/graphic/#url"/>
</div>
</xsl:template>
I put the use of id into a template matching the div4 element but you can of course use it the same way inside of your for-each selecting those elements.
See a minimal but complete sample at https://xsltfiddle.liberty-development.net/bdxtpR.
you should use xsl:key for this type of problem.
First, we must declare a key for the target node
<xsl:key name="kSurface" match="surface" use="concat('#', #xml:id)"/>
notice the concat function being used here, an # was being added to the xml:id so that the keys would appear as:
#ktu1-2_i_1_to_10_img
#ktu1-2_i_10_to_30_img
now in this loop:
<xsl:for-each select="descendant-or-self::div3[#type='col']/div4[#n]">
we can access the key that matches the #facs attribute by having:
<xsl:value-of select="key('kSurface', #facs)/graphic/#url"/>
The whole stylesheet is below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
exclude-result-prefixes="xs"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:key name="kSurface" match="surface" use="concat('#', #xml:id)"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="descendant-or-self::div3[#type='col']/div4[#n]">
<xsl:value-of select="key('kSurface', #facs)/graphic/#url"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I have a large number of xml files with a structure similar to the following, although they are far larger:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<a a1="3.0" a2="ABC">
<b b1="P1" b2="123">first
</b>
<b b1="P2" b2="456" b3="xyz">second
</b>
</a>
I want to get the following output:
1|1|b1
1|2|b2
2|1|b1
2|2|b2
2|3|b3
where:
Field 1 is the sequence number for nodes /a/b
Field 2 is the sequence number of the attribute as it appears in the xml file
Field 3 is the attribute name (not value)
I don't quite know how to calculate field 2 correctly.
I've prepared the following xslt file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="#*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="a/b/#*">
<xsl:value-of select="count(../preceding-sibling::*)+1"/>
<xsl:text>|</xsl:text>
<!-- TODO: This is not correct -->
<xsl:value-of select="count(preceding-sibling::*)+1"/>
<xsl:text>|</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
but when I run the following command:
xsltproc a.xslt a.xml > a.csv
I get an incorrect output, as field 2 does not represent the attribute sequence number:
1|1|b1
1|1|b2
2|1|b1
2|1|b2
2|1|b3
Do you have any suggestions on how to get the correct output please?
Please notice that the answers provided in XSLT to order attributes do not provide a solution to this problem.
The order of attributes is irrelevant in XML. For instance, <a a1="3.0" a2="ABC"> and <a a1="3.0" a2="ABC"> are equivalent.
However this specific question is part of a larger application where it is essential to establish the order in which attributes appear in given xml files (and not in xml files that are equivalent to them).
Although, as kjhughes says in comments, attribute order is insignificant. However, you can still select them, and use the position() element to get the numbers you are after (You just can't be sure the order they are output will be the order they appear in the XML, although generally this will be the case).
Try this XSLT. Do note the nested use of xsl:for-each to select only b elements first, to get their position, before getting the attributes, which then have their own separate position.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="a/b">
<xsl:variable name="bPosition" select="position()"/>
<xsl:for-each select="#*">
<xsl:value-of select="$bPosition"/>
<xsl:text>|</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
<xsl:text>|</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
You could use the position() of the items in the sequence of attributes that you are iterating over and combine with logic for the position of its parent element.
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="a/b/#*">
<xsl:value-of select="count(../preceding-sibling::*)+1"/>
<xsl:text>|</xsl:text>
<!-- TODO: This is not correct -->
<xsl:value-of select="position() -
(if (count(../preceding-sibling::*)) then count(../preceding-sibling::*)+1 else 0)"/>
<xsl:text>|</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
Which produces the following output:
1|1|b1
1|2|b2
2|1|b1
2|2|b2
2|3|b3
I must be missing some fundamental concept of processing an XML document. Here is my source XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<Root>
<Element>visitorNameAlt</Element>
<Element>visitorScore</Element>
<Element>visitorTimeouts</Element>
<Element>Blank</Element>
<Element>homeNameAlt</Element>
<Element>homeScore</Element>
<Element>homeTimeouts</Element>
<Element>Blank</Element>
<Element>period</Element>
<Element>optionalText</Element>
<Element>flag</Element>
<Element>Blank</Element>
<Element>scoreLogo</Element>
<Element>sponsorLogo</Element>
</Root>
And my XSL stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="/Root">
<xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
<xsl:value-of select="Element"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
All I want is to pluck the "Element" names from the source XML doc with their relative position in front.
My output is just "1" followed by the first element and nothing more.
I am new to XSLT, but have processed other documents successfully with for-each.
Thanks in advance.

You're looping over Root tags, not Element tags. Try this:
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="/Root/Element">
<xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
Note that you must change the second value-of select to "." or "text()".
XSLT is not an imperative programming language. The XSLT processor grabs each element in turn and tries to match it to your stylesheet. The idiomatic way to write this is without a for-each:
<xsl:template match="/Root">
<xsl:apply-templates select="Element"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Element">
<xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
The first template matches the root and tells the processor to apply the stylesheet to all the Element nodes inside the Root. The second template matches those nodes, and outputs the desired information.
The transformation I am writing must compose a comma separated string value from a given node set. The resulting string must be sorted according to a random (non-alphabetic) mapping for the first character in the input values.
I came up with this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:tmp="http://tempuri.org"
exclude-result-prefixes="tmp"
>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<tmp:sorting-criterion>
<code value="A">5</code>
<code value="B">1</code>
<code value="C">3</code>
</tmp:sorting-criterion>
<xsl:template match="/InputValueParentNode">
<xsl:element name="OutputValues">
<xsl:for-each select="InputValue">
<xsl:sort select="document('')/*/tmp:sorting-criterion/code[#value=substring(.,1,1)]" data-type="number"/>
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>
<xsl:if test="position() != last()">
<xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
It doesn't work and looks like the XPath document('')/*/tmp:sorting-criterion/code[#value=substring(.,1,1)] does not evaluate as I expect. I've checked to substitute the substring(.,1,1) for a literal and it evaluates to the proper value.
So, am I missing something that makes the sorting XPath expression not to evaluate as I expect or is it simply impossile to do it this way?
If not possible to create a XPath expression that works, is there a work around to achieve my purpose?
Note: I'm constrained to XSLT-1.0
Sample Input:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<InputValueParentNode>
<InputValue>A input value</InputValue>
<InputValue>B input value</InputValue>
<InputValue>C input value</InputValue>
</InputValueParentNode>
Expected ouput:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<OutputValues>B input value,C input value,A input value</OutputValues>
Replace the self::node() abbreviation ., with current() function.
A better predicate would be: starts-with(normalize-space(current()),#value)
Besides changing transformation according to Alejandro´s answer, I found it better to use a XSL variable for th mapping data to avoid declaration of a dummy namespace (tmp) as seen in Dimitre´s answer to another related question.
My final implementation:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/InputValueParentNode">
<xsl:variable name="sorting-map">
<i code="A" priority="5"/>
<i code="B" priority="1"/>
<i code="C" priority="3"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="sorting-criterion" select="document('')//xsl:variable[#name='sorting-map']/*"/>
<xsl:element name="OutputValues">
<xsl:for-each select="InputValue">
<xsl:sort select="$sorting-criterion[#code=substring(normalize-space(current()),1,1)]/#priority" data-type="number"/>
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(current())"/>
<xsl:if test="position() != last()">
<xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Add your xml document namespace in your xsl declaration
<xsl:transform version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl"
xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:doc='urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.002.001.02'
>
and refer to your nodes by the prefix doc:. E.g:
<xsl:for-each select="doc:pain.002.001.02">
EDIT
For your problem try:
<xsl:for-each select="doc:Document/doc:pain.002.001.02">
This is a FAQ. XPath treats unprefixed element names as belonging to "no namespace".
Whenever an XML document has a default namespace, the only way to refer to elements by name is to refer to them as prefixed, where the prefix is bound to the default namespace.
This means:
Associate a prefix (say "xxx") to the document's default namespace.
In any XPath expression or match pattern replace every element name by the corresponding preffixed name. For example, replace /a/b/c/d with /xxx:a/xxx:b/xxx:c/xxx:d
After following strictly the above two rules the modified stylesheet behaves as wanted: in the same way as the original stylesheet applied on an XML document that has no default namespace.
I'm pulling what's left of my hair out trying to get a simple external lookup working using Saxon 9.1.0.7.
I have a simple source file dummy.xml:
<something>
<monkey>
<genrecode>AAA</genrecode>
</monkey>
<monkey>
<genrecode>BBB</genrecode>
</monkey>
<monkey>
<genrecode>ZZZ</genrecode>
</monkey>
<monkey>
<genrecode>ZER</genrecode>
</monkey>
</something>
Then the lookup file is GenreSet_124.xml:
<GetGenreMappingObjectsResponse>
<tuple>
<old>
<GenreMapping DepartmentCode="AAA"
DepartmentName="AND - NEWS AND CURRENT AFFAIRS"
Genre="10 - NEWS"/>
</old>
</tuple>
<tuple>
<old>
<GenreMapping DepartmentCode="BBB"
DepartmentName="AND - NEWS AND CURRENT AFFAIRS"
Genre="11 - NEWS"/>
</old>
</tuple>
... lots more
</GetGenreMappingObjectsResponse>
What I'm trying to achieve is simply to get hold of the "Genre" value based on the "DepartmentCode" value.
So my XSL looks like:
...
<!-- Set up the genre lookup key -->
<xsl:key name="genre-lookup" match="GenreMapping" use="#DepartmentCode"/>
<xsl:variable name="lookupDoc" select="document('GenreSet_124.xml')"/>
<xsl:template match="/something">
<stuff>
<xsl:for-each select="monkey">
<Genre>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$lookupDoc">
<xsl:with-param name="curr-label" select="genrecode"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</Genre>
</xsl:for-each>
</stuff>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="GetGenreMappingObjectsResponse">
<xsl:param name="curr-genrecode"/>
<xsl:value-of select="key('genre-lookup', $curr-genrecode)/#Genre"/>
</xsl:template>
...
The issue that I have is that I get nothing back. I currently just get
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<stuff>
<Genre/>
<Genre/>
<Genre/>
<Genre/>
</stuff>
I have moved all the lookup data to be attributes of GenreMapping, previously as child elements of GenreMapping whenever I entered the template match="GetGenreMappingObjectsResponse" it would just print out all text from every GenreMapping (DepartmentCode, DepartmentName, Genre)!
I can't for the life of me figure out what I am doing wrong. Any helpo/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
PLease find the current actual XSLT listing:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<!-- Define the global parameters -->
<xsl:param name="TransformationID"/>
<xsl:param name="TransformationType"/>
<!-- Specify that XML is the desired output type -->
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<!-- Set up the genre matching capability -->
<xsl:key name="genre-lookup" match="GenreMapping" use="#DepartmentCode"/>
<xsl:variable name="documentPath"><xsl:value-of select="concat('GenreSet_',$TransformationID,'.xml')"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="lookupDoc" select="document($documentPath)"/>
<!-- Start the first match on the Root level -->
<xsl:template match="/something">
<stuff>
<xsl:for-each select="monkey">
<Genre>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$lookupDoc/*">
<xsl:with-param name="curr-genrecode" select="string(genrecode)"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</Genre>
</xsl:for-each>
</stuff>
</xsl:template >
<xsl:template match="GetGenreMappingObjectsResponse">
<xsl:param name="curr-genrecode"/>
<xsl:value-of select="key('genre-lookup', $curr-genrecode, $lookupDoc)/#Genre"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The TransformationID is alway 124 (so the correct lookup file is opened. The Type is just a name that I am currently not using but intending to.
In XSLT 2.0 there are two ways you can do what you want:
One is the three-parameter version of the key function. The third parameter lets you specify the root node you want the key to work on (by default it's always the root of the main document):
<xsl:value-of select="key('genre-lookup', $curr-genrecode,$lookupDoc)/#Genre"/>
Another way is to use the key function under the $lookupDoc node:
<xsl:value-of select="$lookupDoc/key('genre-lookup', $curr-genrecode)/#Genre"/>
Both of these methods are documented in the XSLT 2.0 specification on keys, and won't work in XSLT 1.0.
For the sake of completeness, you'd have to rewrite this to not use keys if you're restricted to XSLT 1.0.
<xsl:value-of select="$lookupDoc//GenreMapping[#DepartmentCode = $curr-genrecode]/#Genre"/>
Aha! The problem is the select="$lookupDoc" in your apply-templates call is calling a default template rather than the one you expect, so the parameter is getting lost.
Change it to this:
<xsl:apply-templates select="$lookupDoc/*">
<xsl:with-param name="curr-genrecode" select="string(genrecode)"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
That will call your template properly and the key should work.
So the final XSLT sheet should look something like this:
<xsl:variable name="lookupDoc" select="document('XMLFile2.xml')"/>
<xsl:key name="genre-lookup" match="GenreMapping" use="#DepartmentCode"/>
<xsl:template match="/something">
<stuff>
<xsl:for-each select="monkey">
<Genre>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$lookupDoc/*">
<xsl:with-param name="curr-genrecode" select="string(genrecode)"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</Genre>
</xsl:for-each>
</stuff>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="GetGenreMappingObjectsResponse">
<xsl:param name="curr-genrecode"/>
<xsl:value-of select="key('genre-lookup',$curr-genrecode,$lookupDoc)/#Genre"/>
</xsl:template>
OK, so this is a bit mental and I don't claim to understand it but it works (sounds like a career in software).
The issue I was having is that when I call the apply-templates and pass in the external document as a variable it never matched any templates even ones called "Genremapping".
So I used a wildcard to catch it, also when calling the apply-templates I narrowed down the node set to be the child I was interested in. This was pretty bonkers a I could print out the name of the node and see "GenreMapping" yet it never went into any template I had called "GenreMapping" choosing instead to only ever go to "*" template.
What this means is that my new template match gets called for every single GenreMapping node there is so it may be a little inefficient. What I realised then was all I needed to do was print sometihng out if a predicate matched.
So it looks like this now (no key used whatsoever):
...
<xsl:template match="/something">
<stuff>
<xsl:for-each select="monkey">
<Genre>
