How to pull a specific name within a node when using an XSL Stylesheet

[GabeGGG]

I’ve very new to XML and making XSL stylesheets. Currently I have a bunch of Exchange Servers listed throughout my XML document. All the Exchange Servers are located within the node:

DocItemSet/DocItem/Data/AnchoredXml/Dictionary/Item/Value/Topology/Clusters/Cluster

within the XML document.

In my XSL stylesheet I’ve been calling out the exchange server individually by name. (example):

 for-each select="DocItemSet/DocItem/Data/AnchoredXml/Dictionary/Item/Value/Topology/Clusters/Cluster[@Fqdn='exch-dc-08.contoso.microsoft.com'] | DocItemSet/DocItem/Data/AnchoredXml/Dictionary/Item/Value/Topology/Clusters/Cluster[@Fqdn='tk5ucdfpp01.contoso.microsoft.com']”>.

As you can see if one has multiple servers the stylesheet will get rather congested calling out each server. I want to know if there is a way that I can display all the Exchange servers by using: contoso.microso f.com instead of inputing each server names entire FQDN individually. I want one rule for all Exchange servers so that I don’t have to make a a rule for each within the atribute for-each select .

Below is my XML document and my XSL Stylesheet.

[jkmyoung]

Do either of these work?

<xsl:for-each select="DocItemSet/DocItem/Data/AnchoredXml/Dictionary/Item/Value/Topology/Clusters/Cluster"> OR

<xsl:for-each select="DocItemSet/DocItem/Data/AnchoredXml/Dictionary/Item/Value/Topology/Clusters/Cluster[contains(.,'contoso.microsoft.com')]">

[GabeGGG]

The first option you gave me pulled all of the servers even the ones with different FQDN's . I get the error below for the 2nd option you gave me:

Are you using MSXML 3 or earlier? How are you running the transformation?
You may need to set something like:
oXMLDoc.setProp erty("Selection Language", "XPath");

Is substring-after supported?, eg:

<xsl:for-each select="DocItemSet/DocItem/Data/AnchoredXml/Dictionary/Item/Value/Topology/Clusters/Cluster[substring-after(@Fqdn,'.') = 'contoso.microsoft.com']">

[GabeGGG]

I'm not 100% sure if I'm running MSXML 3 or earlier. When I open the XML document it says "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> " at the top.

I'm taking an XML document that someone gave me and making an XSL stylesheet so that the XML document can be visable in a template format. I'll open the XML doc in notepad and point it to my XSL document and save it. Then I'll customize my XSL document. When I open the XML document it will display the data.

Below is the info I added to my last XSL document that you sent me last.

use code tags to display all your code:

[code] . . . . [/code]

[GabeGGG]

kub365 I'm not sure what you mean by code tags? I'm very new to this site and XML and XSL. Sorry for the troubles.

[jkmyoung]

If you change your stylesheet element to:
<xsl:styleshe et version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
does it work?

code tags &#91;code] [/code]

Do I need to change my XML sheet as well? It shows that its using.

I made a mistake in the original posting:
contains(.,'con toso.microsoft. com')]">
should be
contains(@Fqdn, 'contoso.micros oft.com')]">

To execute these stylesheets, you are simply opening the xml in an internet browser window correct? Which browser are you using?

[GabeGGG]

Yes, I'm opening the xml in an Internet browser window. The browser I'm using is Internet Explorere 8.

When I add

<xsl:for-each select="DocItemSet/DocItem/Data/AnchoredXml/Dictionary/Item/Value/Topology/Clusters/Cluster[contains(@Fqdn,'exchange.corp.microsoft.com')]">

I get the same output as in my last screenshot.

I’m still having some issues with this one. I still can’t pull out the exchange servers by name.

Thanks,

Please try visiting http://www.bayes.co.uk/xml/index.xml...ml_sniffer.htm
to determine the version of msxml you have.

In order to be able to use contains, you might have to install an msxml upgrade.

If you have other clients that use this, you may need to provide a disclaimer that they must have msxml of some version installed, or be using a different browser.

According to this page: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304265 contains is available once you have the appropriate updates.

I went to the site http://www.bayes.co.uk/xml/index.xml...ml_sniffer.htm and received the below output (See screenshot).

In the screenshoot it says "Although you have the new version of MSXML you are running it in "side-by-side" mode. To get the full benifits of this new version you should run xmlinst (from Microsoft to switch to "replace" mode."

Do I need to run it in replace mode? Could this affect some of my other changes that I have created in my stylesheet?

Thankls,

Gabe
