Parameters
Name | Description |
|---|---|
nodes/rows | This input must receive a connection from a mapping item that provides a sequence of zero or more values. For example, the connection may originate from a source XML item. |
from | This integer specifies the starting position from which items must be retrieved. |
till | This integer specifies the position up to which items must be retrieved. |
Example
The following mock-up mapping generates a sequence of 10 values. The sequence is processed by the items-from-till function and the result is written to a target XML file.
Because the from and till arguments are set to 3 and 5, respectively, only the subset of values from 3 through 5 are passed on to the target. Consequently, the mapping output is as follows (excluding the XML and schema declarations):
