Hi,
I have a reference file like this: <root> <entry>text 1</entry> <entry>text 2</entry> </root> the entry elements may reach up to more than a thousand. I need to generate a list of entry elements that does not have a match in my source xml. my source xml looks like: <source> <head>some text 1 some text some text some text</head> </source> what i do in my xslt is to iterate each of the entry elements and try to look for a match if there is none then i report it. <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:for-each select="$refence.file/entry"> <xsl:if test="not(exists(//text()[ancestor::head][matches(., concat('(^|\W)(',current(),')($|\W)'))]))"> <xsl:message> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:message> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> but this method tends to be rather slow when i have a reference file that has many entries. Is there another way to go around this, by keys maybe? Thanks, -- *Jeff*
