It's easier if you give explict examples of what you want to generate as the answer to that question depends on what you mean by "find". If you mean to select those nodes with XPath to form a node set which you can then manipulate as individual nodes, then that's possible (although possibly inefficient) in Xpath (easier in xpath2 than 1) but if you just want to output the text (or make a variable with all teh found text, concatenated) then it'smuch easier <xsl:apply-templates mode="zzz"/> gets all the text below the current node (as there are no templates in zzzmode and that's what the default templates do) so to prune at any descendent system element you just need one extra template <xsl:template match="system" mode="zzz"/> David ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
