It is easier for me to write a macro which does what you want rather
than answering your questions.
I don't have your environment therefore I have written an equivalent
macro which works on my Linux box:
[1] It uses DocBook <phrase> + attribute "id" instead of <ProjektID> +
attribute "ProjektIDRef".
[2] It simulates "/usr/local/bin/IF2mapleSocket
get_projektlist_xxe_pick_arg()" with an awk script acting on file
fruits.txt.
[3] It simulates "usr/local/bin/IF2mapleSocket prjid2prjname(%_)" with
another awk script acting on file fruits.txt.
The macro:
---
<cfg:command name="getprjrefid">
<cfg:macro>
<cfg:sequence>
<cfg:command name="selectNode" parameter="self[implicitElement]
phrase"/> ***1***
<cfg:command name="run"
parameter="awk -F ',' -- '{ print $1 }'
/home/hussein/tmp/fruits.txt"/>
<cfg:command name="pick" parameter="'Choose a fruit' false %_"/>
<cfg:command name="putAttribute" parameter="id %_"/>
<cfg:command name="get" parameter="./@id"/>
<cfg:command name="run"
parameter="awk -F ',' -- '/%_/ { print $2 }'
/home/hussein/tmp/fruits.txt"/>
<cfg:command name="getprjrefid2" parameter='"%_"'/>***2***
</cfg:sequence>
</cfg:macro>
</cfg:command>
<cfg:command name="getprjrefid2">
<cfg:macro>
<cfg:sequence>
<cfg:command name="selectNode" parameter="firstChild"/>***3***
<cfg:command name="insertString" parameter="ANYTHING"/>***4***
<cfg:command name="selectText" />***5***
<cfg:command name="paste" parameter="to %0"/>***6***
</cfg:sequence>
</cfg:macro>
</cfg:command>
---
***1*** This ensures that the macro only works if a <phrase> is
implicitely or explicitely selected.
***2*** Splitting the macro in 2 parts allows to reference what has been
returned by second awk script in getprjrefid2 as %0. This is a
workaround for the fact that XXE macros have no variables (this will
change real soon now).
***3*** This selects the text node contained in the <phrase>.
***4*** This ensures that this text node is not empty.
***5*** This selects all the text contained in the <phrase>.
***6*** This replaces all the text contained in the <phrase> by what has
be returned by the second awk script.
Et voil?!
Attached files are:
* docbook.xxe (DocBook customization file containing the macro) which
must be copied to ~/.xxe2/config
* fruits.txt which must be copied *somewhere* and after this, replace
/home/hussein/tmp/fruits.txt by *somewhere*/fruits.txt in the macro.
To test this macro in DocBook, open a DocBook document, insert a
<phrase> and press F2. And you can do that several times for the same
<phrase>.
