Dear people,

can i acheive this by the for-each condition

<xsl:for-each select="//root/children/textid[.='ABC']">

xml structure being

<root>
<children>
  <textid>ABC</textid>
</children>
<children>
  <textid>DEF</textid>
</children>
<children>

</children>
<children>
  <textid>FGH</textid>
</children>
<children>

</children>
</root>

please correct me if i am wrong
i am writing the xsl like below
