Join values ​​from multiple nodes in XML - using XSLT

advertisements

This is a test XML not original XML. I am required to pull those blog sites only for which blogger ID exists in bloggrs block. Is it possible using XSLT only? I think it is not.

<root>
<bloggers>
<name bloggerId = "1">Jacob Sebastian</name>
<name bloggerId = "2">Adam Machanic</name>
<name bloggerId = "3">Pinal Dave</name>
<name bloggerId = "4">Steve Jones</name>
<name bloggerId = "5">Michael Coles</name>
</bloggers>
<blogs>
<url bloggerId = "1">http://www.sqlblog.com/adam_machanic </url>
<url bloggerId = "2">http://www.sqlauthority.com </url>
<url bloggerId = "3">http://www.beyondrelational.com </url>
<url bloggerId = "4">http://www.sqlblog.com/michael_coles </url>
<url bloggerId = "5">http://www.sqlservercentral.com/blogs/steve_jones </url>
<url bloggerId = "6">http://www.cnn.com/belief </url>
<url bloggerId = "7">http://www.yahoo.com/360 </url>
</blogs>
</root>

My output is in this form

+-------+----------+
| Site  | Blogger  |
+-------+----------+
| site1 | blogger1 |
| site2 | blogger2 |
+-------+----------+

This list will exclude site 6 and 7 because those bloggers number do not exist in bloggers.
