Hi Ardian,
Assuming that you are taking the first xml structure as your input and
transforming it into the corrected version of xml as your output using a
xsl.
You xsl should look something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><?xml version="1.0"
encoding="ISO-8859-1"?></xsl:text>
<ROOT>
<node_1 attrib1_1="3"
attrib1_2="282"
attrib1_3="ABC"
attrib1_4="BCD"
attrib1_5="0">
<xsl:apply-templates select="//ROOT/node_1"/>
</node_1>
</ROOT>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="node_1">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Thanks,
Viral.

Hi all,
I'm new to XSL, and my question might be quickly addressed. I have an XML
file with the following structure.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<ROOT>
<node_1 attrib1_1="3"

As you see, node_1 is being repeted having the same attribute values but
different children nodes. I want to group the children nodes of node_1, so
I want the following output.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<ROOT>
<node_1 attrib1_1="3"
attrib1_2="282"

Can anyone help me with this issue?
