How can I do this compare using XSLT ??

[cheguvera]

Hi all,

I have a XML like ,

<info>
<type>A</type>
<value1>ZZZZZZZ</value1>
<value2>YYYYYYY</value2>
</info>
<info>
<type>B</type>
<value1>ZZZZZZZ</value1>
<value2>YYYYYYY</value2>
</info>

With XSLT I would like to code logic like,

if value of <type> is 'A'
then
output value of <value1>
end if

if value of <type> is 'B'
then
output value of <value2>
end if

How can I do that? what can be the best syntex for it?
Is that possible without using variables?

Please help.

Regards

You need not use variables. This should give you a good start.

The way you ask it sounds like you can get it done through variable. How does it look like? Is there something that displeases you using variable?

Hi All,

Thanks for your reply.

Actually, I was not able to find syntax of string comparison in the <xsl:if . Everywhere I see on the internet, all the examples were showing numeric comparisons.

But, now its sorted out.
I can easily do it without using variables.

I can simply do it by,

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="type = 'A'" >
<display><xsl:value-of select="value1" /></display>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="type = 'B'" >
<display><xsl:value-of select="value2" /></display>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>

It was as simple as that.

Thanks again.
