Hi
I have a problem trying to isolate groups of information in some xml. I would like to group the information below to separate the address from the users details, i.e. their address and then DOB and telephone number. I have found a solution using "mode" in apply-templates but this solution isn't very elegant. Does anyone have any ideas or opinions if this is a valid way to group information or is there a better solution out there? Thanks in advance, Ronan ==>Xml to convert <translated> <PersonaUnaCalle> Sunny Street </PersonaUnaCalle> <PersonaUnaCiudad> Dublin </PersonaUnaCiudad> <PersonaUnaDOB> 19660301 </PersonaUnaDOB> <PersonaUnaTel> 01035312174234 </PersonaUnaTel> <PersonaDosCalle> Windy Street </PersonaDosCalle> <PersonaDosCiudad> Cork </PersonaDosCiudad> <PersonaDosDOB> 19800502 </PersonaDosDOB> <PersonaDosTel> 0103532287213 </PersonaDosTel> </translated> ==>Xml converted <request> <PersonOne> <address> <street> Sunny Street </street> <city> Dublin </city> </address> <dob> 19660301 </dob> <telephone> 01035312174234 </telephone> </PersonOne> <PersonTwo> <address> <street> Windy Street </street> <city> Cork </city> </address> <dob> 19800502 </dob> <telephone> 0103532287213 </telephone> </PersonTwo> </request> ==>XSL using mode to isolate repeating groups <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml"/> <xsl:template match="/translated"> <request> <PersonOne> <address> <xsl:apply-templates select="*[contains(local-name(), 'Ciudad') and starts-with(local-name(), 'PersonaUna')]"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="*[contains(local-name(), 'Calle') and starts-with(local-name(), 'PersonaUna')]"/> <!--more lines in the address to match fields -->
