Question

hello and good day dear xml-friends,

i am new to xml so do not bear with me for the questions… i am currently making some tests with an xslt-processor –
I ve got an script that runs nicely on one test-dataset – and gives back good and valid results and contrary to this behaviour
i get back silly and dumb results if i run the same script – note: i get back a csv-formatted file with 2 MB that contains
only tabstops… funny but true…

so here my script is:

if i run this xslt-code on the following test-dataset i get only bad bad results – only tabstops… nothing more… what causes this errors. note – i get better results if i run the code againgst the second dataset .- see far below… and see the results at the end of this inital posting….

    </xsl:template>
        <!-- all non-restaurant nodes -->
    <xsl:template match="node[tag[@k='amenity' and @v!='restaurant']]" />

</xsl:stylesheet>

if i run this against this test-dataset – then i get only dumb results a file with only tabstops in. i have no glue what causes the error?

Answer 1

I get good results: 11 rows in case 2 and one row in case 1:

25242198    49.0077605  8.3560676   german  Beim Schupi     http://www.schupi.de    DE  Karlsruhe   Durmersheimer Straße   6

Which is exactly what I would expect to get.
It would be strange for any xslt processor to fail a templated xslt sheet when only one record is present while working OK for multiple records.

I suggest you have another look, and if it still fails, let us know which xslt processor you are using.
