Iterate through every node in a XML
- by Rachel
Hi
I am trying to iterate through every node in a xml, be it the element node, text node or comment. With the below XSL in the very first statement
prints the complete xml. How do i copy the very first node in $nodes and call the template process-nodes again removing teh first node in my next iteration?
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:call-template name="process-nodes">
<xsl:with-param name="nodes" select="//node()" as="node()*"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="process-nodes">
<xsl:param name="nodes" as="node()*" />
<xsl:copy-of select="$nodes[1]"/>
<xsl:if test="$nodes">
<xsl:call-template name="process-nodes">
<xsl:with-param name="nodes"
select="remove($nodes, 1)" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Note: I am looking for fixing the issue in this kind of implementation rather than changing the template match to <xsl:template match="@* | node()"> as I need to have some processing which requires this approach.
Thanks.
