how to set variable name(attribute) in xsl:element - visual-studio

i have this code that purpose of that create dynamic elment name.
<xsl:template name="Band" match="*[contains(name(), 'Band')]">
<xsl:param name="DA" />
<xsl:element name="$DA"> <!--error this-->
</xsl:element>

You need to add curly braces to evaluate the variable:
<xsl:param name="DA" />
<xsl:element name="{$DA}">
...
</xsl:element>

Constructing variable with template in XSLT and then applying xpath

I am using following xslt
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns="http://www.test.com/services/test/test/v1">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8"
omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes" />
<xsl:strip-space elements="*" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="mytree">
<xsl:call-template name="myvariable">
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="count($mytree/foos/foo) > 1">
<xsl:copy-of select="$mytree"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<error>test</error>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="myvariable">
<foos>
<foo>bar1</foo>
<foo>bar2</foo>
<foo>bar3</foo>
<foo>bar4</foo>
</foos>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When i use above xslt it should be following output
<foos xmlns="http://www.test.com/services/test/test/v1">
<foo>bar1</foo>
<foo>bar2</foo>
<foo>bar3</foo>
<foo>bar4</foo>
</foos>
but it is
<error xmlns="http://www.test.com/services/test/test/v1">test</error>
when i remove the xmlns="http://www.test.com/services/test/test/v1" output is proper. Not sure what is happening?
Well, with any XML, whether constructed inside of your XSLT or read from a source, if you have elements in a certain namespace, then, to select them with XPath in XSLT, in XSLT 2 you have two options, either use xpath-default-namespace="http://www.test.com/services/test/test/v1" (e.g. <xsl:when test="count($mytree/foos/foo) > 1" xpath-default-namespace="http://www.test.com/services/test/test/v1">) or bind the namespace to a prefix (e.g. <xsl:when xmlns:v1="http://www.test.com/services/test/test/v1" test="count($mytree/v1:foos/v1:foo) > 1">).
You can use these approaches on an ancestor element, for instance the root element of the stylesheet, if it does not interfere with other selections you want to make.
You have to specify qualified element names in your XPath expression to address the foos and foo elements in your default namespace http://www.test.com/services/test/test/v1:
Register the default namespace once more with a namespace prefix (e.g. myns): xmlns:myns="http://www.test.com/services/test/test/v1"
Use that namepace prefix in your XPath expressions to address nodes in that namespace (e.g. myns:foos/myns:foo).
Add exclude-result-prefixes="myns" to suppress the myns prefix in your result document.
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns="http://www.test.com/services/test/test/v1"
xmlns:myns="http://www.test.com/services/test/test/v1"
exclude-result-prefixes="myns">
…
<xsl:template match="/">
…
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="count($mytree/myns:foos/myns:foo) > 1">
<xsl:copy-of select="$mytree"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<error>test</error>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
…
</xsl:stylesheet>
see XSLT Fiddle
If you only had an XSLT 1.0 processor at hand, you would need the EXSLT node-set function to access the $mytree variables from the result tree:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns="http://www.test.com/services/test/test/v1"
xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common"
extension-element-prefixes="exsl"
xmlns:myns="http://www.test.com/services/test/test/v1"
exclude-result-prefixes="myns">
…
<xsl:template match="/">
…
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="count(exsl:node-set($mytree)/myns:foos/myns:foo) > 1">
<xsl:copy-of select="$mytree"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<error>test</error>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
…
</xsl:stylesheet>
Use code for remove namespace
<xsl:template match="#*[namespace-uri() = 'http://www.test.com/services/test/test/v1']"/>

XSLT 2.0 dynamic XPATH expression

I have one XML file that I need to transform based on a mapping file with XSLT 2.0. I'm using the Saxon HE processor.
My mapping file:
<element root="TEST">
<childName condition="/TEST/MyElement/CHILD[text()='B']>/TEST/MyElement/CHILD</childName>
<childBez condition="/TEST/MyElement/CHILD[text()='B']>/TEST/MyElement/CHILDBEZ</childBez>
</element>
I have to copy the elements CHILD and CHILDBEZ plus the parent and the root elements when the text of CHILD equals B.
So with this Input:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<TEST>
<MyElement>
<CHILD>A</CHILD>
<CHILDBEZ>ABEZ</CHILDBEZ>
<NotInteresting></NotInteresting>
</MyElement>
<MyElement>
<CHILD>B</CHILD>
<CHILDBEZ>BBEZ</CHILDBEZ>
<NotInteresting2></NotInteresting2>
</MyElement>
</TEST>
the desired output:
<TEST>
<MyElement>
<childName>B</childName>
<childBez>BBEZ</childBez>
</MyElement>
</TEST>
what I have so far (based on this solution XSLT 2.0 XPATH expression with variable):
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:param name="mapping" select="document('mapping.xml')"/>
<xsl:key name="map" match="*" use="."/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="first-pass">
<xsl:apply-templates mode="first-pass"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$first-pass/*"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" mode="first-pass">
<xsl:param name="parent-path" tunnel="yes"/>
<xsl:variable name="path" select="concat($parent-path, '/', name())"/>
<xsl:variable name="replacement" select="key('map', $path, $mapping)"/>
<xsl:variable name="condition" select="key('map', $path, $mapping)/#condition"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$condition!= ''">
<!-- if there is a condition defined in the mapping file, check for it -->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:element name="{if ($replacement) then name($replacement) else name()}">
<xsl:attribute name="original" select="not($replacement)"/>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="first-pass">
<xsl:with-param name="parent-path" select="$path" tunnel="yes"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*[#original='true' and not(descendant::*/#original='false')]"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
but the problem is that it's impossible to evaluate dynamic XPATH expressions with XSLT 2.0. Does anyone knows a workaround for that? Plus I have a problem with the mapping file. When there is only one element in it, it's not working at all.
If dynamic XPath evaluation isn't an option in your chosen processor, then generating an XSLT stylesheet is often a good alternative. In fact, it's often a good alternative anyway.
One way of thinking about this is that your mapping file is actually a program written in a very simple transformation language. There are two ways of executing this program: you can write an interpreter (dynamic XPath evaluation), or you can write a compiler (XSLT stylesheet generation). Both work well.

adding attribute to an existing node

i need to add an attribute initial-page-number to a tag fo:sequence
tha tag is
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="alternating" initial-page-number="1"><fo:page-sequence>
..
...
</fo:page-sequence>
become
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="alternating" initial-page-number="1">
..
</fo:page-sequence>
but with the xslt i obtain two fo:page:
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="alternating" initial-page-number="1"><fo:page-sequence>
</fo:page-sequence></fo:page-sequence>
How can i replace old fo:page-sequence with new one?
This is my xsl stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet>
<xsl:template match="ss:split/fo:page-sequence">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="#master-reference['alternating']">
<xsl:element name="fo:page-sequence">
<xsl:for-each select="#*">
<xsl:attribute name="{name()}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:attribute name="initial-page-number">
<xsl:value-of select="1"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="child::*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match='comment()'>
<xsl:comment><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:comment>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="#*|*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Your stylesheet changes every fo:page-sequence because the predicate ['alternating'] is always true.
You can check for the master-reference value in the match pattern, plus you can just copy the existing attributes, and you can copy the contents of the fo:page-sequence since it won't contain another fo:page-sequence:
<xsl:template
match="ss:split/fo:page-sequence[#master-reference = 'alternating']">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="#*" />
<xsl:attribute name="initial-page-number">1</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:copy-of select="node()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
Your stylesheet creates an fo:page-sequence using <xsl:element name="fo:page-sequence">, and another one with <xsl:copy> (as the matching element is an fo:page-sequence).
Just remove the xsl:copy (but leave <xsl:apply-templates select="child::*"/>, as you want to process the children of the current node!) and you should get what you need.

is there a way to emulate correctly replace function on XPATH 1?

I have this function which tries to replace dots and/or - with _
I'm limited to use xpath 1 so replace function is NOT an option. The template works not to much fine because if I use something like this:
FOO-BAR.THING-MADRID.html
it gives me out on screen this thing:
FOO-BAR.THING-MADRID.html
the middle dot is not replaced.
Someone could help me?
<xsl:template name="replaceDots">
<xsl:param name="outputString"/>
<xsl:variable name="target">.</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="source">-</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="replacement">_</xsl:variable>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($outputString,$source)">
<xsl:value-of select="concat(substring-before($outputString,$source),$replacement)" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
<xsl:call-template name="replaceDots">
<xsl:with-param name="outputString" select="substring-after($outputString,$source)"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="contains($outputString,$target)">
<xsl:value-of select="concat(substring-before($outputString,$target),$replacement)" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
<xsl:call-template name="replaceDots">
<xsl:with-param name="outputString" select="substring-after($outputString,$target)"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$outputString" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
To replace all dots or dashes with underscores, you do not need an <xsl:template>. You can use:
<xsl:value-of select="translate(., '-.', '__')" />
If you want to keep the ".html", you can extend this like so:
<xsl:value-of select="
concat(
translate(substring-before(., '.html'), '-.', '__'),
'.hmtl'
)
" />
For a generic "string replace" template in XSLT, look at this question, for example.

Removing the last characters in an XSLT string

In my CMS it is possible to create a new article, and choose an image to be shown on that article. When an image is chosen, a thumbnail of the image will automatically be created as well.
If the uploaded image is called image.jpg, then the corresponding thumbnail will automatically be named image_thumbnail.jpg.
I would now like to use the thumbnail image, everywhere on the website where the article is mentioned, except in the article itself (where the original big image should be shown).
But how can I do that?
I imagine if I could get the original name of the image, and then split it up before the suffix (.jpg, .png, .jpeg etc.) and hardcode _thumbnail after the name, then that would be sufficient.
In other words, I want to take the complete filename, and cut it into two parts, so that I can insert the string _thumbnail between the two parts.
Maybe that would work, but what if an image called image.2horses.jpg (a file with more than one dot in the filename) is uploaded? A naive cut before the '.' wouldn't work here.
Is there a way to get around this? Perhaps by cutting the filename up before the last 4 (.jpg, .png) or 5 (.jpeg) characters?
Off the top of my head:
<xsl:template name="substring-before-last">
<xsl:param name="string1" select="''" />
<xsl:param name="string2" select="''" />
<xsl:if test="$string1 != '' and $string2 != ''">
<xsl:variable name="head" select="substring-before($string1, $string2)" />
<xsl:variable name="tail" select="substring-after($string1, $string2)" />
<xsl:value-of select="$head" />
<xsl:if test="contains($tail, $string2)">
<xsl:value-of select="$string2" />
<xsl:call-template name="substring-before-last">
<xsl:with-param name="string1" select="$tail" />
<xsl:with-param name="string2" select="$string2" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
Called as:
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="filename" select="'image.2horses.jpg'" />
<xsl:variable name="basename">
<xsl:call-template name="substring-before-last">
<xsl:with-param name="string1" select="$filename" />
<xsl:with-param name="string2" select="'.'" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="$basename" />
</xsl:template>
Yields:
image.2horses
Given the image's filename in $filename,
If you can assume that all images will end in ".jpg" and won't have ".jpg" elsewhere in the filename, then this should work:
<img src="{substring-before($filename, '.jpg')}_thumbnail.jpg" ... />
If you don't know the image type (like, you want to handle gif and png as well), or if you think the extension may occur multiple times in the filename ("image.jpg.jpg"), then you will want a template to help you:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<p>
<xsl:call-template name="image_thumbnail">
<xsl:with-param name="filename" select="'image.jpg'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</p>
<p>
<xsl:call-template name="image_thumbnail">
<xsl:with-param name="filename" select="'image.09.07.11.jpg'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</p>
<p>
<xsl:call-template name="image_thumbnail">
<xsl:with-param name="filename" select="'image.gif'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</p>
<p>
<xsl:call-template name="image_thumbnail">
<xsl:with-param name="filename" select="'image with spaces.jpg'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</p>
<p>
<xsl:call-template name="image_thumbnail">
<xsl:with-param name="filename" select="'image with irregular spaces.jpg'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</p>
<p>
<xsl:call-template name="image_thumbnail">
<xsl:with-param name="filename" select="'image.jpg.again.jpg'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="image_thumbnail">
<xsl:param name="filename"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($filename, '.')">
<xsl:variable name="before" select="substring-before($filename, '.')"/>
<xsl:variable name="after" select="substring-after($filename, '.')"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($after, '.')">
<xsl:variable name="recursive">
<xsl:call-template name="image_thumbnail">
<xsl:with-param name="filename" select="$after"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="concat($before, '.', $recursive)"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="concat($before, '_thumbnail.', $after)"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$filename"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
A general solution involving only standard XSLT is somewhat hard since you have to search the string from the end. You can split your filename usings two functions, substring-before-last and substring-after-last. Unfortunately, these functions are not part of XSLT. You can Google and try to find implementations. Assuming you have these two functions implemented as XSLT templates you can then use the following template to generate thumbnail names:
<xsl:template name="thumbnail-name">
<xsl:param name="file-name"/>
<xsl:call-template name="substring-before-last">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="$file-name"/>
<xsl:with-param name="chars" select="'.'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:text>_thumbnail.</xsl:text>
<xsl:call-template name="substring-after-last">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="$file-name"/>
<xsl:with-param name="chars" select="'.'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
You can use the template like this (assuming the variable $file-name contains the name of the image):
<img>
<xsl:attribute name="src">
<xsl:call-template name="thumbnail-name">
<xsl:with-param name="file-name" select="$file-name"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:attribute>
</img>
Have a look at the XPath functions overview at W3Schools, specifically the substring-before method.
I believe XPath functions operating on string might help you. I would try with some simple replace or translate.
XSLT 2 solution using regexp:
replace($filename, '(\.[^\.]*)$', concat('_thumbnail', '$1'))
Original answer (also XSLT 2):
This removes all after the last separator (including the separator). So below the $separatorRegexp could be '\.jpg' or just '\.' and the $separator '.jpg' or '.' in the other case.
string-join(reverse(remove(reverse(tokenize($filename, $separatorRegexp)),1)),$separator)
Eventually the '_thumbnail.jpg' can be appended with concat.
