Does xml::xslt support an xpath method to select an xml node with an attribute that has spaces in the value? Here is a snippet of my xml file:
... <Form id="id24" name="160D999998-98/01" accessRefs="#id3" subType="Par +t Revision Master" subClass="Part Revision Master"> <Form id="id30" name="09A10-000019/A-AF Engineering Or" accessRefs="#i +d3" subType="AF Engineering Order E" subClass="AF Engineering Order E +"> <Form id="id33" name="09A10-000019/A-AF Design/Draftin" accessRefs="#i +d3" subType="AF Design/Drafting Request A" subClass="AF Design/Drafti +ng Request A"> <Form id="id36" name="09A10-000019/A" accessRefs="#id3" subType="EngCh +ange Revision Master" subClass="EngChange Revision Master"> ...
Of these three Form nodes I'd like to select the one with subType="Part Revision Master" Here are my failed approaches:
<xsl:value-of select= "/PLMXML/Form@subType='Part Revision Master']/UserData/UserValue[@tit +le='cage_code']/@value"/> <!-- also tried --> <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> <xsl:value-of select= "/PLMXML/Form@subType='PartRevisionMaster']/UserData/UserValue[@title +='cage_code']/@value"/> <!-- also tried --> <xsl:value-of select= "/PLMXML/Form@subType='Part#x20Revision#x20Master']/UserData/UserValu +e[@title='cage_code']/@value"/> <!-- also tried --> <xsl:for-each select="PLMXML/Form"> <xsl:variable name="formtype"> <xsl:value-of select="substring(@subType,1,4)"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:if test="$formtype ='Part')"> <xsl:value-of select= "/PLMXML/Form/UserData/UserValue[@title='cage_code']/@value"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> <!-- also tried --> <xsl:for-each select="PLMXML/Form"> <xsl:variable name="formtype"> <xsl:value-of select="substring"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:value-of select="$formtype"/> <xsl:if test="contains($formtype,'Part')"> <xsl:value-of select= "/PLMXML/Form/UserData/UserValue[@title='cage_code']/@value"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each>
