asked on
how to merge and seperate different entries with a text using xslt
In the attached xml i have a requirement to save the Contents of <keywords> and <groups> in msubjectgen node. Also separate contents of 2 fields with a semicolon if one doesn't already exist. e.g. "<keywords>Learning methods; Teaching methods; Schoolchildren; Students; Science Education;</keywords>
<groups>Education</groups>
should be like
"Learning methods; Teaching methods; Schoolchildren; Students; Science Education; Education"
I have tried xslt attached for msubjectgen but it does not seem to work
<groups>Education</groups>
should be like
"Learning methods; Teaching methods; Schoolchildren; Students; Science Education; Education"
I have tried xslt attached for msubjectgen but it does not seem to work

I just copied them from your original
instead of '.' I used a normalized form of '.' stored in variable $keyw-norm
first line takes all char but the last
second line removes the last char if a ';'
the third line puts the ';' there, but on the condition that the variable si not empty (as in teh first example)

substring function in the 2nd line is taking two parameters usually it carries three parameters may be thats confusing me a bit.

thanks

if substring lacks a third argument, it means "to the end of string"
