Hello Kevin

Hopefully this will illustrate an example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet 
	xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
        version="1.0">
  <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration='yes'/>
    <xsl:template match="/">    
      <xsl:variable name='mes' select='//ME'/>
		<xsl:for-each select="$mes[.='282214'][1]">		
			<xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::*[1]"/>
		</xsl:for-each>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
