ok, Lars
it works with a definition like : select="/*/PORTPATH"...
A question, to understand what I've done: could you explain me the differences
between this statement and one like this select="//PORTPATH" ?
with the first I'm looking for 'PORTPATH' at a defined level? or not ...
perhaps stupid question of a stupid schoolboy, but this is ...
next time spaghetti & pizza for all you
thanx a lot

Hi all,
while I'm reading my XML file, how could I choose the
right value for tha key "PORTPATH" if it is defined in two
places, at a first level, and inner the "REGISTER_STOR" tag,
at a second level ?
The first question is, what are your criteria for deciding which
is the right value?
Now the value retrieved is not the one at a first level
(value :8071)!
Right now the value of the PortPath variable is a nodeset including
all nodes that match //PORTPATH. The first of these, in document
order, is /REGISTER_STOR/PORTPATH. Depending on how you use $PortPath
in an expression, you will probably get only this first one.
How can I get this gool?
If what you want is the PORTPATH at the top level, then use
<xsl:variable name="PortPath" select="/PORTPATH"/>
However that's going by your XML snippet, which is not a well-formed
XML document (it has more than one top-level element).
So it's possible that what you really want is select="/*/PORTPATH"...
it depends on what your input XML document really looks like,
and what your design specification is for which PORTPATH is
the one that matters.
