Hi

Ive been trying to work out the logic for solving my problem all of yesterday and have given up!

I have two for loops. The first for loop runs through the first file First.xml such that

<xsl:for-each select="document(First.xml)/SubConcepts/SubConcept">.............</xsl:for-each> <!--extract the '@name' value-->

The second for loop is nested within the first loop and is as such

<xsl:for-each select="document(Second.xml)/SubConcepts/SubConcept[1]/Value"> <!--check if contains( '@name=text()' ) -->

What I want to do is look for the '@name' value in the rest of the 'document(Second.xml)/SubConcepts/SubConcept' ONLY IF I dont find a match in the earlier SubConcept node's Value nodes.

How do I go about coding this?

Thanks
Rahil
