RE: [xsl] deep copy and exclude some nodes

[Peter Van de Water <peter.vandewater@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

*[not(name() = 'field1' and name() = 'field2')]

As a general rule, use not() whenever you need to build up an exclusion set
first. Working with XSL is like working with SQL - your operations are
usually on sets, not single values.

Subject: [xsl] deep copy and exclude some nodes


hi,

<line>
 <field1>1</field1>
 <field2>2</field2>
 <field3>3</field3>
</line>

i am processing the <line> node in this simplified example.
and i need to copy this node 2 times. The first is a copy of everything and
the second should exclude <field2>

giving this result

<line>
 <field1>1</field1>
 <field2>2</field2>
 <field3>3</field3>
</line>
<line>
 <field1>1</field1>
 <field3>3</field3>
</line>

I used
<xsl:copy>
  <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
  <xsl:copy-of select="*[name() != 'field2']"/>
<xsl:copy>

But what when i need to remove more fields.
I tried   <xsl:copy-of select="*[name() != 'field1' and name() !=
'field2']"/> but is not working.

I think this is the wrong approach.
