Getting attribute Values using xslt

Hi All,

I am trying to get the attribute value from 100's of xml files using below code..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
	version="2.0" xmlns:saxon="http://sf.net/saxon" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
	exclude-result-prefixes="saxon xs">
	<xsl:output indent="yes" method="html" encoding="UTF-8" />
	<xsl:strip-space elements="*" />
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<html>
			<body>
				<ol>
					<xsl:for-each select="//fileref/@href">
						<xsl:variable name="file" select="concat('../input.files/',.)" />
						<xsl:message>Processing ...<xsl:value-of select="." /></xsl:message>
						<xsl:for-each select="document($file)/distinct-values(//trans-unit/@id)">
							<xsl:sort order="ascending" select="." />
							<li>
								<xsl:value-of select="." />
							</li>
						</xsl:for-each>
					</xsl:for-each>
				</ol>
			</body>
		</html>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Open in new window

However, I am not getting any results.

Can you please suggest what's gone wrong here?
Thanks,
Shail

technically I don't see a direct issue
but it is very hard to comment on this... and it is really easy for you to debug

1. first test the outer loop

				<ol>
					<xsl:for-each select="//fileref/@href">
						<xsl:variable name="file" select="concat('../input.files/',.)" />
							<li>
								<xsl:value-of select="$file" />
							</li>
						</xsl:for-each>
					</xsl:for-each>
				</ol>

So then you know whether the source XML file already gives you the correct file urls
(you have not added the source XML so I can't test that myself)

Hi Geert,

Yes, I did that and when I changed the xpath something like below it has shown the results.

<xsl:for-each select="document($file)/distinct-values(//@id)">

This is strange as xml structure is quite simple...

<file>
<body>
<group>
<trans-unit id="m1"></trans-unit>
<trans-unit id="m1"></trans-unit>
<trans-unit id="m2"></trans-unit>
<trans-unit id="m2"></trans-unit>
</group>
</body>
</file>

Thanks,
