I have the following XML:
<StatsContainer>
<Variant1>0</Variant1>
<Variant2>0.5</Variant2>
<Variant3>1.2</Variant3>
<Variant4>4.1</Variant4>
<Variant5>93.9</Variant5>
<Variant6>0.3</Variant6>
<Variant7>0</Variant7>
<Variant8>0</Variant8>
<Variant9>0</Variant9>
<Variant10>0</Variant10>
<Variant11>0</Variant11>
<Variant12>0</Variant12>
<GlobalVariant1>4.6</GlobalVariant1>
<GlobalVariant2>40.4</GlobalVariant2>
<GlobalVariant3>13.8</GlobalVariant3>
<GlobalVariant4>2.8</GlobalVariant4>
<GlobalVariant5>35.6</GlobalVariant5>
<GlobalVariant6>2.8</GlobalVariant6>
<GlobalVariant7>0</GlobalVariant7>
<GlobalVariant8>0</GlobalVariant8>
<GlobalVariant9>0</GlobalVariant9>
<GlobalVariant10>0</GlobalVariant10>
<GlobalVariant11>0</GlobalVariant11>
<GlobalVariant12>0</GlobalVariant12>
<MosaicType>Boligtype</MosaicType>
<OverRepresentedVariant>5</OverRepresentedVariant>
</StatsContainer>
As you can see I have a number in the "OverRepresentedVariant"-tag. This number can change from time to time. What i Need is to grab the "Variant"-tag with the right number. In the above case I need to get the value from the "Variant5"-tag (93.9). Tomorrow the "OverRepresentedVariant"-value might have changed to 3, this would mean that I should now grab the "Variant3"-value instead.
So this is what I got. I have a variable called $btOver which contains the above XML. I also have a variable called $btId which contains the "OverRepresentedVariant"-value like this:
<xsl:variable name="btId" select="$btOver/OverRepresentedVariant" />
So now I need some help finding the Variant-tags with the right ID. The tags that I need will always be named "Variant" followed by an id. So how can I get the right tag?
Thanks a lot in advance folks.
