Ok, this thread is getting boring. :) Here is what I see as the main problem with the logic of the sheet as it stands (if I am reading it correctly). This <xsl:template mode="stripNewline" match="text()"> <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/> </xsl:template> Will normalize-space on the text node =>IF<= <xsl:template mode = "Attribs" match = "info"> <xsl:apply-templates mode="stripNewline" select="text()"/> <xsl:element name = "PO_NUMBER"> <xsl:value-of select="attr/atomicValue[../name='ponumber']"/> </xsl:element> ... </xsl:template> "[LF]ponumber" = "ponumber". Which it never will. So the text nodes will never be "cleaned". So you are in a catch 22 if you refuse to use ... select="attr/atomicValue[normalize-space(../name)='ponumber']"/> People use trim() all the time on Char values from a database or input from the console. As I see it (and I am by no means a Guru) You have several things you can do - all of which have been given to you already. 1. Have the original xml manipulated first. As Michael said. 2. Use normalize-space() on the item you are testing 3. Perhaps ../name = '[lf]ponumber' would work? 4. Don't use xslt, find another solution Cheers, and good luck Rob _/ _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ http://treebeard.sourceforge.net http://ashpool.sourceforge.net XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
