I have XML with a bunch of different processing instructions in them;

is a sample:

    <?Fm Condend VbV-VCO?>
    <p><?Fm Condstart USB?>If you need this, do that.<?Fm Condend
USB?></p>
</info>


For each "pair" of processing instructions (Condstart and Condend with the same string), I want to find all of the nodes between them.

Are the matching pairs always sibling nodes? Or can they be at different nesting levels?

In case of siblings it sounds like an easy job for for-each-group
group-starting-with="processing-instruction('Fm')"/for-each-group
group-ending-with.


Like this:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
exclude-result-prefixes="xs"
version="2.0">

<xsl:template match="/">
<results>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</results>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*[processing-instruction('Fm')[starts-with(., 'Condstart')]]">
<xsl:for-each-group select="node()" group-starting-with="processing-instruction('Fm')[starts-with(., 'Condstart')]">
<xsl:if test="self::processing-instruction('Fm')[starts-with(., 'Condstart')]">
<group name="{.}">
<xsl:variable name="pi-end-name" select="replace(., 'Condstart', 'Condend')"/>
<xsl:for-each-group select="current-group() except ." group-ending-with="processing-instruction('Fm')[. = $pi-end-name]">
<xsl:if test="current-group()[last()][self::processing-instruction('Fm')[. = $pi-end-name]]">
<xsl:copy-of select="current-group()[position() ne last()]"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</group>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each-group>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="text()"/>

</xsl:stylesheet>
