Please Help! XLS Filter problem
Posted on 2009-07-14
Hello experts,
I have a script that I run for some vulnerability reports that parses and filters XML information into a handy table. I have used it for Nessus data in the past without issues. However, now we are utilizing Retina Vulnerability scanners that export an XML structure a little different.
I manipulated the XSL file to accomodate the XML for Retina, BUT, I am having issues displaying the correct data. For instance, I used to have an XML node called "<severity>" that was numerical (1 through 3). Now, with the new XML structure, the equivalent is called "<pciLevel>" and is not numeric but instead is like this "3 (High)". I was thinking that perhaps I should utilize the "<risk>" node instead to filter it, but then again, it is not numerical which I am used to.
I had a sort function working with just the numeric version, but with the alpha numeric result the sort function doesn't seem to want to display anything.
I have an IF statement in place "<xsl:if test="pciLevel > 1 (Low)">" which I assume is the culprit. But, then again, I have another field that filters a little more like this:
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="pciLevel = 3 (High)">
<td bgcolor="red" bordercolor="#000000" align="center" valign="middle" width="90px">
<xsl:attribute name="rowspan"><xsl:value-
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<td bgcolor="green" align="center" valign="middle" width="90px">
<xsl:attribute name="rowspan"><xsl:value-
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
I hope what I am asking makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

why don't you filter out everything that is not numerical from the pciLevel element
you can do that with a simple translate
translate(pciLevel, translate(picLevel, '0123456789', ''), '')
now all non numeric characters are removed
(high and low seem redundant to me)
and you can use the pciLevel element, exactly the same way as you did before with severity

well, your test should become
<xsl:if test="number(translate(pci
(simply ignore the "low")
and the sort
<xsl:sort select="number(translate(p
<xsl:if test="number(translate(pci
(simply ignore the "low")
and the sort
<xsl:sort select="number(translate(p
Would you mind putting it the way it should be in the code that I provided? It would be appreciated.

well, I assume you know better then I do where you want to sort based on the numerics in pciLevel
and I assume that you know better than I do where you need to test for a numeric in the pciLevel to be > 1
I will have a look though
