Hi Jaya,
In your template
<xsl:template match="Attribute">
<xsl:text>Field</xsl:text>,<xsl:value-of select="@name"/>, <xsl:value-of
select="@ReleaseIntroduced"/>, <xsl:value-of select="@ReleaseChanged"/>
<xsl:value-of select="."/> <!-- THIS INSTRUCTION -->
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
The instruction <xsl:value-of select="."/> is copying the string value of
the context node (the <Attribute>) to the result. (The string value of a
node is the concatenation of all its text node descendants: that is, all
the text inside it.)
If you don't want this, remove it. If you want something else and don't
know how to get it, please ask again.
It seems to me that you aren't yet fully clear on how XSLT goes about
generating output from the input -- how templates are applied and what the
different instructions ("commands") in them do. If you feel you're still
mystified by this, some time studying up on the XSLT processing model might
be well spent. Another thing you could try -- particularly if you learn by
doing more than by studying -- is commenting out each of the instructions
inside this template (or another) in turn, and looking at how each such
change affects your output. To the extent you're surprised by the results
(that is, to the extent your guess about what will happen turns out to be
wrong), that's an indication that you don't really understand what each
instruction does.
Naturally, knowing what each instruction does is the key to being able to
control your code.... :->
Cheers,
Wendell

Thanks but I am still getting the text associated with units in the
output. Also
text in descr and default nodes are coming in output too.
Here is the xsl with your suggestions: I do not want the text in <descr>,
<units>,
<default> nodes. All these are child nodes
of <Attribute> entity.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"
indent="no" encoding="iso-8859-1" />
<xsl:template match="objType">
<xsl:text>ObjType</xsl:text>,<xsl:value-of
select="@name"/>,<xsl:value-of
select="@ReleaseIntroduced"/>,<xsl:value-of select="@ReleaseChanged"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Attribute">
<xsl:text>Field</xsl:text>,<xsl:value-of select="@name"/>,
<xsl:value-of
select="@ReleaseIntroduced"/>, <xsl:value-of select="@ReleaseChanged"/>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="units"/>
<xsl:template match="default"/>
<xsl:template match="descr"/>
<xsl:template
match="*[self::objType or self::Attribute]
[not(@ReleaseChanged = 7
or
@ReleaseIntroduced = 7
)
] "/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
thanks
