one of my XSLT page contains this code, can any one help me to understand what exactly it will return.

XML

<xsl:if test="string-length(DMS_Document/Payload/DMS_DispatchResponse/Message/Vendor) != 0">
                            <xsl:element name="VENDOR_ID">
                                <xsl:value-of select="number(DMS_Document/Payload/DMS_DispatchResponse/Message/Vendor)"/>
                            </xsl:element>

Doubt 1: will this code always return Vendor as number.
2:  or it will return what is there in DMS_Document/Payload/DMS_DispatchResponse/Message/Vendor

thanks in advance

Solution 2

it will always give the Vendor as number due to

XML

number(DMS_Document/Payload/DMS_DispatchResponse/Message/Vendor)


&lt;pre lang=&quot;xml&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;xsl:if test=&amp;quot;string-length(DMS_Document/Payload/DMS_DispatchResponse/Message/Vendor) != 0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;
                            &amp;lt;xsl:element name=&amp;quot;VENDOR_ID&amp;quot;&amp;gt;
                                &amp;lt;xsl:value-of select=&amp;quot;number(DMS_Document/Payload/DMS_DispatchResponse/Message/Vendor)&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;
                            &amp;lt;/xsl:element&amp;gt;&lt;/pre&gt;</pre>

Solution 1

Why not test it amd check the results? Have a look at a tool you can find here on codeproject:
A (very) simple XSLT test utility[^]

Or try it online:

Good luck!
