Yes, having looked at Jeni's XSL it is way over the top for my needs and
doesn't seem to actually do what I want. Thanks to Jim Fuller for directing
me to it though - I'm sure I'll use it elsewhere :0)
Mukul, the code you supplied is what I tried first of all but it doesn't
copy across attributes.
Here is where I am so far...
Vendor: Apache Software Foundation
URL: http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j
Version: 1
The following works fine but once it hits the node and question, and
processes it OK, it does not continue down into deeper nests below that
node. So I know what I want to do but can't quite crack how to do it. Any
help with this would be gratefully received.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:param name="tag"/> <!-- name of node containing text to be changed
-->
<xsl:param name="text"/> <!-- new text to be placed in node -->
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:if test="name()=$tag">
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:value-of select='$text'/>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="not(name()=$tag)">
<xsl:for-each select="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hi Jeff ,
You can try a XSL something like below. This will
replace the contents of tag <A> with 'Some new text'
and copy other things to output as it is. But you want
to provide the tag name and the new text, *at run
time*. If you can tell what is your XSLT processor and
*how you would like to supply the 2 parameters at run
time*, i can try modifying the stylesheet accordingly.
i don't know if Jeni's XSL is meeting your
requirement(it looks quite complicated to me for your
problem).
Regards,
Mukul

Hi
Can you please give some guidance on this...
I would like to be able, at runtime, to parse an XML
file and change
<A>Original text</A>
to
<A>Some new text</A>
On the next occasion I might want to do this...
<F>Old text</F>
change to
<F>New text</F>
So at runtime I need to pass in two parameters that
specify the required
node and the new text for it.
There are two issues: Either change the text in
every node called <A>
throughout the document or else only change <A>
along a particular path. A
solution to either (or both?) option will do for me.
Of course the rest of the document must remain in
its entirety, e.g.
attributes, children etc.
Many thanks for any help given.
Regards
Jeff
