Obtaining variable information from an XML file using xslt.

[Cartik]

Hello,

This question is regarding applying an XSL transformation to map one XML file to another. Im posting this question again.

Say I have original XML attributes like:
<series>
<number>1</number>
<series>

and the final XML output file as:
<series number="1"/>

I'm trying to use
<xsl:variable name="number" select="series/number/>

to get this variable and
<series number=<xsl:value-of select="$number" />
to display this value in the output xml file.

However it seems like the xsl variable is not "extracted" correctly from the original file.

Please advise why.

best regards,
Cartik

Welcome to TheScripts TSDN....

Try to use other avriable name instead of "number" , it is a reserved xsl function.
Also, it's not recommended as to use it a node name.

Try something like this:
XML:

<series><num>1</num></series>

XSL:

<xsl:variable name="varname" select="series/num[0]"> 
<series num="{$number}" />
