convert the lower case to upper case

My be it is not clear but here is the full xslt code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" >
    <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" indent="yes"/>
    <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
    <xsl:key name="search" match="wordEntry" use="search"/>
    <xsl:key name="replace" match="wordEntry" use="concat(search, '-', replace)"/>
    <xsl:template match="wordlist">
        <Dictionary xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="translation.xsd">
            <from><xsl:value-of select="translate("@from", $smallcase, $uppercase)"/></from>
            <to><xsl:value-of select="translate("@to", $smallcase, $uppercase)"/></to>
            <total>
                <xsl:value-of select="count(wordEntry[generate-id() = generate-id(key('search', search)[1])])"/>
            </total>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="wordEntry[generate-id() = generate-id(key('search', search)[1])]"/>
        </Dictionary>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="wordEntry">
        
        <translation initial="{substring(search ,1,1)}">
            <xsl:variable name="this-search" select="search"></xsl:variable>
            <xsl:copy-of select="search"/>
            <counter>
                <xsl:value-of select="count(//wordEntry[generate-id() =  generate-id(key('replace', concat($this-search, '-', replace))[1])])"/>
            </counter>
            <xsl:for-each select="//wordEntry[generate-id() =  generate-id(key('replace', concat($this-search, '-', replace))[1])]">
                <xsl:copy-of select="replace"/>
            </xsl:for-each>
        </translation>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Select allOpen in new window

remove the double quotes from the attributes @from and @to
 <from><xsl:value-of select="translate(@from, $smallcase, $uppercase)"/></from>
            <to><xsl:value-of select="translate(@to, $smallcase, $uppercase)"/></to>
 

i think its causing due to the imbalance in the double quotes,

Pls refer the snippet

Hope this helps

<from><xsl:value-of select="translate(@from, $smallcase, $uppercase)"/></from>
            <to><xsl:value-of select="translate(@to, $smallcase, $uppercase)"/></to>

YOU ARE THE BEST !!!!

Sorry shinug

I should have declared the $smallcase and $uppercase....

Note that:
- in XPath functions and expressions, you don't need to put quotes (or single quotes) around the XPath. It will be evaluated as a string, in this case you don't want the string "@from" in the translate(); you want the attribute from
- strings in double-quote delimited attribute values should be seperated by single -quotes, to keep the balance right
- the translate function is a work-around for uppercasing in this example, but you will need every character in the uppercase, explicitely mentuioned in a variable, which I added for you

welcome

GREAT... thanks very much Gertone... I wish i give you 1000000 points
