Import all elements by XSL

[vier.gewinnt]

Hello everyone,

 

I have a problem I couldn't solve despite extensive searching...

 

This is a part from an XML.   

 

<contributors>

<authors>

<author>Willett, C G</author>

<author>Tepper, J E</author>

<author>Kaufman, D S</author>

<author>Shellito, P C</author>

<author>Eliseo, R</author>

<author>Convery, K</author>

<author>Wood, W C</author>

</authors>

</contributors>

 

I tried to import all authors into a Filemaker cell by using this xsl (excerpt) 

 

 

<FIELD EMPTYOK="YES" MAXREPEAT="15" NAME="Author" TYPE="TEXT"/>

 

    <COL>

<DATA>

<xsl:for-each select="contributors/authors">

<xsl:value-of select="author">

</xsl:value-of>

</xsl:for-each>

</DATA>

</COL>

 

 

Unfortunately only the first name is imported. Why? What's missing? 

 

Would be glad if someone could help me...

 

Cheers

Hi,

 

you need to select the author element for the for-each statement. For the import you select the author contents via "."

XPATH works as the same implies via the path to the information, it's not a script language.

 

This way it will work:

<xsl:for-each select="contributors/authors/author">

<xsl:value-of select=".">

 

Cheers,

Alexander
