仅当第n个重复子项中的任何一个包含比今天晚的日期时，才复制重复节点

Question

我想过滤一个传入的xml文档，只保留那些在某个重复的第n个子节点上包含比今天晚的日期的记录。我尝试将标识模板与模板一起使用，以仅匹配匹配中具有谓词的那些记录，但如果可能的话，我似乎无法获得正确的谓词。

输入示例：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Example>
    <Header>
        <ElementA/>
        <ElementB/>
    </Header>

            <Person>

Answer 1

<!-- Get today's date somehow -->
<xsl:variable name="todaysDate" select="'2018-09-06'"/>

<!--  You need the identity template -->
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Record">
  <!-- Since your date is in the yyyy-mm-dd format, you can do a text compare.  -->
  <xsl:if test=".//Date[. &gt; $todaysDate][1]">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
