in the following example code, notice that all three nodes have the
same name. I want to combine all nodes with the same name into one node
with all of their <style>s and <types>s, where <style> and <type> are
not duplicated.
<inventory>
<product>
<name>chair</name>
<style>rocking</style>
</product>
<product>
<name>chair</name>
<type>rocking</type> --> same value as <style> above
</product>
<product>
<name>chair</name>
<style>folding</style>
<type>lawn</type>
</product>
</inventory>
When I'm in the first node, I grab it, when I'm in the second node, I
can check the preceding <style> value and skip it, when I'm in the
third node I grab it. That gives me:
<product>
<name>chair</name>
<style>rocking</style>
</product>
<product>
<name>chair</name>
<style>folding</style>
<type>lawn</type>
</product>
I figured out that, while in the second of these nodes, I can check if
the preceding name is the same and, if so, get the preceding <style>
and add it to the second product node, giving me:
<product>
<name>chair</name>
<style>rocking</style>
</product>
<product>
<name>chair</name>
<style>rocking</style>
<style>folding</style>
<type>lawn</type>
</product>
but I still have 2 products with the name "chair". how can I get the
result:
<product>
<name>chair</name>
<style>rocking</style>
<style>folding</style>
<type>lawn</type>
</product>
One of the problems is that <style> and <type> are being used
interchangeably, but I think I compensated for that. My big problem is
getting everything listed under one name with no duplicates.
