Question

What is an example of a compound select statement using an AND operator, similar to an if statement where condition 1 = true and condition 2 = true?

Answer 1

Here is an example of how to use a compound select statement….

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<A>
    <B>
        <C>1</C>
        <D>2</D>
    </B>
    <B>
        <C>1</C>
        <D>3</D>
     </B>
    <E>test</E>
</A>

and your current template match is for “E”, then try the below code to select only B where C = 1 and D = 3: for C and D read condition 1 = true and condition 2 = true

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" indent="yes"/>
    <xsl:template match="E">
        <xsl:value-of select="../B[C = 1][D = 3]"></xsl:value-of>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="C"/>
    <xsl:template match="D"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Good Luck
