Instead of
<xsl:copy-of select="contents/property/index[. = '003000001']"/>
you want
<xsl:copy-of select="contents/property[index = '003000001']"/>
The first selects an index whose value is 003000001. The second selects a
property whose index child has the value 003000001.

Subject: [xsl] XSL copy-of problem with extraction of a node
based on child element
I wish to extract one subnode from an XML file based on the
value of a child
element in the node. In this case a complete copy of a
property node based
on the value of the index element. My efforts so far have
either resulted in
the index element only or the entire XML file.
Thanks for your help.
David
