Re: [xsl] Moving element up hierarchy unless text nodes

Hi all,

I have a requirement as below.

i have one *source xml*, which as below.

<Source>
    <Source1>
           *<Operation>XXXXXX</Operation>*
           <Source2>
                 <Name>XXXX</Name>
                 <Address>XXXX</Address>
            </Source2>
            <Source2>
                 <Name>XXXX</Name>
                 <Address>XXXX</Address>
            </Source2>
     </Source1>
</Source>.

I have* one Config XML*, which as below.

<Source>
    <Source1>
         * <Operation>XXXXXX</Operation>*
           <Source3>
                 <City>XXXX</City>
                 <State>XXXX</State>
            </Source3>
     </Source1>
</Source>.

I want to merge the second xml with my source xml based on the Operation
Name, my desired output xml should be.

<Source>
    <Source1>
           *<Operation>XXXXXX</Operation>*
           <Source2>
                 <Name>XXXX</Name>
                 <Address>XXXX</Address>
            </Source2>
           <Source3>
                 <City>XXXX</City>
                 <State>XXXX</State>
            </Source3>
    </Source1>
</Source>.

like wise i have couple of config xml's, i need to merge them into source
file based on Operation Using Nested For loop with IF Condition.

I am new to XSLT, please help me to understand this.

Thanks for advance.
