But select="/Top/*[name( )]"  returns all the string values of each node 
instead of the name of the node.

(1) What Im trying to do is to first check if there is any node B/Class 
with a value 'Not Present'. I then know that B hasnt found a match with 
A/Class in the first iteration.

(2) In the next iteration, I  select the A/Class  corresponding to each 
B/Class[.='Not Present'] and split the A/Class value, if possible. So, 
if A/Class = 'HelloThere' I get 'Hello There'.

(3) However, to avoid duplicate matches e.g. if there already exists a 
match in B/Class for A/Class = 'Hello', then I dont want step (2) to 
throw the result of 'Hello' again. So I check if the parent node <Hello> 
exists and if B/Class doesnt have 'Not Present' then it has desired 
results already. So I skip the search and proceed with step (2) for 
splitting other A/Class.

I know this might sound crazy but trust me, Im dealing with a very 
complex integration problem ! I could use another approach for coding as 
long as the objective remains the same.

Appreciate your help.
