Re: Creating unique groups

Hi Dave,
  Please try this XSL. It uses the Muenchian
technique.

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

<xsl:key name="by-group-name" match="group"
use="@name" />
    
<xsl:template match="/root">
  <root>
    <xsl:for-each select="group[generate-id(.) =
generate-id(key('by-group-name', @name)[1])]">
      <group name="{(_at_)name}">
        <xsl:for-each select="key('by-group-name',
@name)">
          <xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
        </xsl:for-each>
      </group>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </root>  
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Mukul

I have this XML representing 2 groups (spread across
4 group elements):

<root>

      <group name="group1">
              <entry name="entry1" />
              <entry name="entry2" />
      </group>

      <group name="group1">
              <entry name="entry3" />
      </group>

      <group name="group2">
              <entry name="entry4" />
              <entry name="entry5" />
      </group>

      <group name="group2">
              <entry name="entry6" />
      </group>

</root>

What would be the best approach to turn it into the
following output, 
where the name of the group is used as the
identifier of what should be 
a unique group element?

<root>

      <group name="group1">
              <entry name="entry1" />
              <entry name="entry2" />
              <entry name="entry3" />
      </group>

      <group name="group2">
              <entry name="entry4" />
              <entry name="entry5" />
              <entry name="entry6" />
      </group>

</root>

Right now, I just need someone to point me in the
right direction to 
get me started.

Thanks,
/dave
