reverse element

samueln12

Hai all,

I need to reverse the following element:
Eg:
<link rid="www.goldcopd.com"><comment style="inline">www.goldcopd.com</comment></link>

Should be:
<comment style="inline"><link rid="www.goldcopd.com">www.goldcopd.com</link></comment>

Can any one help me out

Thanks
Sam

that depends on the circumstances. do you use XSLT or a script language, is this a part of a XML, are you only interested in this part of the XML, ...

Can you help me out how to do with XSLT

Dormilich

sure, what do you have so far? (there are some ways to accomplish the task, but they all depend on the rest of the XML and XSLT)

I am quite familer in XSLT and Perl.

But i don't what to go for Perl. I want to use XSLT as the transformer for this.

Case 1:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <comment>Available at: </comment><ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="www.goldcopd.com"><comment>www.goldcopd.com</comment></ext-link>
 

i am able to get the text

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <xsl:template match="comment[not(parent::ext-link)]">

    <comment><xsl:apply-templates/></comment>

</xsl:template>

Case 2:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <comment>Available at: </comment><ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="www.goldcopd.com"><comment>www.goldcopd.com</comment></ext-link>
 

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <xsl:template match="comment[(parent::ext-link)]">

...

</xsl:template>

Please guide me how to write this.

Thanks
Sam

do you want to switch the tags as they are, or do some adjustments too?

<comment>Available at: </comment><ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="www.goldcopd.com"><comment>www.goldcop d.com</comment></ext-link>

The XSLT transformation should work for the above occurance. I don't want to lose data. Because this is for STM books and journals. I want to retain the attribute in their element.

<comment>Available at: </comment><ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="www.goldcopd.com">See <comment>www.goldcopd.com</comment></ext-link>

For this occurance retain the XML as is..

Thank you for your help
Sam

So you are only changing the <ext-link> nodes that don't have a direct text() node? Like :?

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<xsl:template match="ext-link[not(text())][comment]">

  <comment>

    <xsl:copy-of select="comment/@*"/>

    <xsl:copy>

      <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>

      <xsl:value-of select="comment"/>

    </xsl:copy>

  </comment>

</xsl:template>

Or should the <xsl:value-of select="comment"/> be
like <xsl:apply-templates select="comment" mode="inside"/>?
