Hi
Thanks a lot for the solution..The outcome is very
precise to my requirement..I am amazed at the power of
xsl transformations after looking at the code..
will come back with moe doubts in future..
Bye

to just use <xsl:copy-of select="Type/text()"/>
instead of recursion i have to further explain what

am trying to do..
See, it's always much easier to answer questions
given sample input and
desired output. You are correct that my one line
xsl:copy can not add
the "_" between the items (In Xpath 2 this will be
possible and the
whole stylesheet below could be replaced by a single
xsl:value-of)
However you don't need recursion, just a small
for-each loop over the
elements
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:param name="x"/>
<xsl:template match="Root">
<xsl:for-each
select="Elements/Element[(_at_)name=$x]/R/Type">
<xsl:value-of select="/Root/*[name()=current()]"/>
<xsl:if test="position()!=last()">_</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
$ saxon concat.xml concat.xsl x=El1
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>R1_R2
davidc(_at_)DCARLISLE /c/tmp
$ saxon concat.xml concat.xsl x=El2
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>R1
davidc(_at_)DCARLISLE /c/tmp
$ saxon concat.xml concat.xsl x=El3
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>R1_R2_R3
which matches your desired output I believe.
