XSLT IF Multiple Conditions

[lukeharris95]

Hi,

I have created a CV as my XML document. I have than made a XSL which produces either a accept/reject letter based on if certain words appear in the XML.

That criteria is as follows: If the word 'Web Developer' appear in <experienceSummary> AND 'Information' OR 'Computer' OR 'Web' appear in <educationSummary> then load up a accept letter. If this criteria is not met load up a reject letter.

I have got it working for the word 'Web Developer' but I'm not sure how to connect the other words to this expression.

Code: Select all

<xsl:variable name="search">

              <xsl:value-of select="//experienceSummary"/>

           </xsl:variable>



           <xsl:variable name="expSearch">

              <xsl:value-of select="//educationSummary"/>

           </xsl:variable>



            <xsl:if test="contains($search, 'Web Developer')">



            <!--  <xsl:if test="contains($search, 'Web Developer' and ($expSearch='Computer' or $expSearch='Information' or $expSearch='Web' ))"> -->



            <!-- <xsl:if test="contains($search, 'Web Developer' and (contains($expSearch, 'Computer' or 'Information' or 'Web' )))"> -->



              <p>Buckinghamshire New University regard that your experience as a Web Developer to be relevant to this post.</p> 



              <p>Your award [item title from CV XML], also fulfils elements of the job description.</p> 



              <p>We are therefore pleased to invite to an interview on: Monday 18th May 2015.</p>



            </xsl:if>

          

            <xsl:if test="not(contains($search, 'Web Developer'))">



            <p>Buckinghamshire New University received many applications for this post. Due to the strength of the field we regret that you have not been selected for an interview on this occasion.</p> 



            <p>We will, however, keep your CV on file for consideration when similar opportunities arise.</p>



            </xsl:if>

I have searched almost everywhere for a solution with no luck!! Surely it can't be that hard to have a IF test with multiple conditions. Thanks in advance for any help given, will be much appreciated!

Hi,

If you use boolean operators (or/and) between strings, you'll get a boolean result (true/false), which isn't useful since you need a string for the contains() function. So you need to apply contains() on each individual string.

Code: Select all

<xsl:if test="contains($search, 'Web Developer') and (contains($expSearch, 'Computer') or contains($expSearch, 'Information') or contains($expSearch, 'Web' ))">

Adrian
