I am trying to determine set a variable according to the length of a string.
say i have 5 nodes
I want to select all nodes (in order) as long as the additive string length
is less then 915
ie:
node 1 = 300
node 2 = 200
node 3 = 300
node 4 = 300
node 5 = 100
i would select nodes 1, 2, 3(because if i add node 4 the total would be
1100, so i have to stick with the first three nodes)
My XML has a structure
<CATEGORY>
<DATA>
....
</DATA>
<DATA>
....
</DATA>
<DATA>
....
</DATA>
<DATA>
....
</DATA>
<DATA>
....
</DATA>
</CATEGORY>
My XSL template is at match="CATEGORY"
ANy suggestions on an efficient solution?
