Hello Bennett,

the above does not work like you expect it, because both expressions in
the predicate are evaluated separately. So it is searched for a
metadata/app_data, where the @name is 'Type', and one metadata/app_data,
where @value is 'RFI'. Both can be found in both objects.
You must refer the @name and @value to the same app_data:
<xsl:template match="object[metadata/app_data[(_at_)name = 'Type' and [(_at_)value
= 'RFI']]">

Hello,
I have an xml file that is structured something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<object id="00125">
<metadata>
<app_data name="Type" value="RFI"/>
<app_data name="Version_Major" value="1"/>
</metadata>
</object>
<object id="00126">
<metadata>
<app_data name="Type" value="Video"/>
<app_data name="Category" value="RFI"/>
</metadata>
</object>
</root>
I am trying to build a style sheet that will match object elements that
contain a child app_data element where the app_data element has a name
of "Type" and a value of "RFI". Here is the style sheet I am trying to
use. It has a problem that I cannot figure out. It matches any object
that has any app_data with a name of "Type" and with any other app_data
with a value of "RFI". As a result, both of the objects in my sample
XML file are matched. I could use some help with creating the Xpath
expression to matchin only the first object.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"
indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:element name="Assets">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="object[metadata/app_data/@name = 'Type' and
metadata/app_data/@value = 'RFI']">
<xsl:element name="Asset">
<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Many thanks.
