Re: Excluding one particular attribute(namespace) when copying elements

With this input...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<FOO xmlns:BE='http://www.mdptws.com/be'>
    <BE:BAR>This is the BE: namespace test text</BE:BAR>
    <BAR>this is the test text</BAR>
    <BE:FOOBAR>this is the BE:FOOBAR text</BE:FOOBAR>
</FOO>


and this XSLT...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0"
                xmlns:BE="http://www.mdptws.com/be";>


<xsl:output
    method = "xml"
    indent="yes"
/>

<xsl:template match="*">

    <xsl:copy>

        <xsl:apply-templates/>

    </xsl:copy>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="BE:BAR">

    <BAR>This is the replacement node and text for BE:BAR</BAR>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="BE:FOOBAR">

    <FOOBAR>This is the replacement node and text for BE:FOOBAR</FOOBAR>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


you would get this output...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FOO xmlns:BE="http://www.mdptws.com/be";>
  <BAR>This is the replacement node and text for BE:BAR</BAR>
  <BAR>this is the test text</BAR>
  <FOOBAR>This is the replacement node and text for BE:FOOBAR</FOOBAR>
</FOO>

Hope this helps!

Best of luck...
