hey steven thanks for all the help

but i think i confused all this time too

i am going to try again

Input XML Output XML

<X>               maps to---->            <X1>
 <A>A</A>        maps to---->              <A1>A</A>
 <Y>             maps to--->               <Y1>
                 if resultant <Y1>
                 has got elements within it
   <B>B</B>      maps to---->                 <B1>B1</B1>
                 only if data contained
                 in <B> is "ABC"
   <C>C</C>      maps to---->                 <C1>C1</C1>
                 only if data contained
                 in <C> is "XYZ"
  </Y>                                      </Y1>
</X>                                         </X>

According to the mapping rules for <B> and <C> the output XML should not contain <B1> and <C1> and thus <Y1> would be empty. But <Y1> should appear in the output only if <B1> or <C1> is present.

what can I use for that

Thanks,
Deepak

Replace the for each with the Y[Z] with the following:

  <xsl:for-each select="Y[child::*]">
    <xsl:copy-of select="." />
  </xsl:for-each>

This will fire only for those Y which have children.  Then it makes a deep
copy of that node.

If you need this logic to apply you node more than Y, then you may want to
look at multiple templates instead of for-each elements.

Whoops, I shot myself in the foot here....


sorry folks I am new to XSL.... and pardon my ignorrance

To clarify things, I want an XSL which would output a <Y> if and only if it
has a sub element in this case a <Z>. In the current example I have only one


sub element <Z> but there can be more than one sub-element of <Y>.

e.g.

<Y>
<Z></Z>
<D></D>
......
</Y>

I do not want <Y></Y> to appear in the output if all the sub-elements do not

map.

Thanks,
Deepak
