XSL: only display names that end with ium

[Blackterror25]

I've got an instruction from my teacher to do a couple of things with the periodic table content in xsl.

 

I'm currently stuck on something that I've been trying to fix for a couple of houres and was hopen some of you could help me.
I should only display the elements that end with ium.

 

the xml file looks like this:

<periodic_table>  <atom>    <name>Actinium</name>    <atomic_weight>227</atomic_weight>    <atomic_number>89</atomic_number>    <oxidation_states>3</oxidation_states>    <boiling_point units="Kelvin">3470</boiling_point>    <symbol>Ac</symbol>    <density units="grams/cubic centimeter"><!-- At 300K -->      10.07    </density>    <electron_configuration>[Rn] 6d1 7s2 </electron_configuration>    <electronegativity>1.1</electronegativity>    <atomic_radius units="Angstroms">1.88</atomic_radius>    <atomic_volume units="cubic centimeters/mole">      22.5    </atomic_volume>    <specific_heat_capacity units="Joules/gram/degree Kelvin">      0.12    </specific_heat_capacity>    <ionization_potential>5.17</ionization_potential>    <thermal_conductivity units="Watts/meter/degree Kelvin">    <!-- At 300K -->      12    </thermal_conductivity>  </atom>  <atom>    <name>Aluminum</name>    <atomic_weight>26.98154</atomic_weight>    <atomic_number>13</atomic_number>    <oxidation_states>3</oxidation_states>    <boiling_point units="Kelvin">2740</boiling_point>    <melting_point units="Kelvin">933.5</melting_point>    <symbol>Al</symbol>    <density units="grams/cubic centimeter"><!-- At 300K -->      2.7    </density>    <electron_configuration>[Ne] 3s2 p1 </electron_configuration>    <covalent_radius units="Angstroms">1.18</covalent_radius>    <electronegativity>1.61</electronegativity>    <atomic_radius units="Angstroms">1.43</atomic_radius>    <heat_of_vaporization units="kilojoules/mole">      290.8    </heat_of_vaporization>    <atomic_volume units="cubic centimeters/mole">      10    </atomic_volume>    <heat_of_fusion units="kilojoules/mole">      10.7    </heat_of_fusion>    <ionization_potential>5.986</ionization_potential>    <specific_heat_capacity units="Joules/gram/degree Kelvin">      0.9    </specific_heat_capacity>    <thermal_conductivity units="Watts/meter/degree Kelvin">    <!-- At 300K -->      237    </thermal_conductivity>  </atom>...</periodic_table

Thanks for having a look and helping me.

Deserialise it into an object.

Loop through those objects and print ones that match a regular expression.

 

Simple.

I already figured that part out but I was more having troubles with how excaclty to code it that it only checked the last  letters and then print out the names.

What language?

[Blackterror25]

What language?

xsl

specificly with only showing those that end with -ium, no problem with showing alle the names.

Its probably really simple but i've only been coding for 2 months.

Have a look at this:

The regular expression you need is

[a-z]{1,}ium

[MG2R]

 

The regular expression you need is

[a-z]{1,}ium

 

To make this work if the XML file has capital letters in the names as well, you can simply modify this to

[a-zA-Z]{1,}ium

Also, I think (not entirely sure), that this should work as well:

[a-zA-Z]+ium[a-zA-Z]*ium

The first will require at least one letter in front of ium, the second sees ium on its own as a valid option as well.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to add that to the xsl file. I currently made a template where I believe I should add it somewhere, but I cant figure out where.

 

This is what I currently have.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">    <xsl:template match="/">        <html>            <body>                <xsl:apply-templates/>            </body>        </html>    </xsl:template>    <xsl:template match="name">    </xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet> 

[Blackterror25]

I figured it out by trying something different

                <xsl:for-each select="periodic_table/atom">                    <xsl:if test="substring(name, string-length(name) - 2, string-length(name))='ium'">                        <xsl:value-of select="name" />                        <br/>                    </xsl:if>                </xsl:for-each>

Thank you for your help.
