Hello,

this time I've got a real problem ;-)
I've got an XML file like this:

<root>
 <node>name: Smith</node>
 <node>subject: Feedback</node>
 <node>Dontneed: Somestuff</node>
 <node>date: 02-2000</node>
 <node>Somedata: Dontwant</node>
 <node>name: Jones</node>
 <node>Unneeded: Redundance</node>
 <node>subject: Questions</node>
 <node>date: 03-2000</node>
 <node>name: Miller</node>
 <node>Dontwant: Skipthis</node>
 <node>subject: Request</node>
 <node>date: 03-2000</node>
</root>

Now, my XSLT file should be like this:

1. Match all <node> elements
2. If element contains "name:", "subject:" or "date:", then continue 
processing
3. If element contains the unwanted name "Jones" then:
3a. Skip until element contains "name:" again
3b. Process 3 again
4. Show value of element

Most of it isn't very complex, but I have no idea how to realize 
steps 3a and 3b. I've played with call-template, but things just 
didn't work as I wanted.

Here's what I thought of:

<template name="skip">
 <performtheskip/>
</template>

<template match="node">
 <xsl: if test="contains(.,'name:') or contains(.,'subject:') or 
contains(.,'date:')>
  <xsl:if test="contains(.,'Jones')>
   <xsl:call-template name="skip"/>
  </xsl:if>
  <perform-the-above-xsl:if-again/>
 <xsl:value-of select="."/>
 </xsl:if>
</template>

Anyone out there having an idea? :-)

Thanks,

Heiner
