Position() function is a recommended operation to return the node position that is being processed. If the position=1, the first element in the XML file returns a position of 1. Similarly, it varies for the number.
Definition and Usage. The <xsl:number> element is used to determine the integer position of the current node in the source. It is also used to format a number.
XSLT current() Function The current() function returns a node-set that contains only the current node. Usually the current node and the context node are the same.
XSLT <xsl:text> The <xsl:text> element is used to write literal text to the output. Tip: This element may contain literal text, entity references, and #PCDATA.
<EmployeeDetails>
<Employee>
<Name>TEST</Name>
</Employee>
<Employee>
<Name>TEST</Name>
</Employee>
<Employee>
<Name>TEST</Name>
</Employee>
<Employee>
<Name>TEST</Name>
</Employee>
<Employee>
<Name>TEST</Name>
</Employee>
</EmployeeDetails>
I tried using xslt as below :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xd="http://www.oxygenxml.com/ns/doc/xsl"
exclude-result-prefixes="xd"
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="EmployeeDetails/Employee">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of select="position()"/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*">
<xsl:attribute name="{local-name()}">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
For above xslt the output for position() is printing as 2,4,6,8,10.
and the output should be :
<EmployeeDetails>
<Employee id="1">
<Name>TEST</Name>
</Employee>
<Employee id="2">
<Name>TEST</Name>
</Employee>
<Employee id="3">
<Name>TEST</Name>
</Employee>
<Employee id="4">
<Name>TEST</Name>
</Employee>
<Employee id="5">
<Name>TEST</Name>
</Employee>
</EmployeeDetails>
How to print as a sequence like 1,2,3.... for id attribute.
