Hi Paul,
Please also try this XSL.. You may like it..
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:variable name="exclude"
select="document('exclude.xml')" />
<xsl:template match="node() | @*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*[(_at_)attr-name =
$exclude/exclude-list/exclude-attr]" />
</xsl:stylesheet>
This is a modified identity stylesheet.. The 2nd
template excludes those elements, whose attr-name
attribute has value matching that in exclude file..
I have found.. identity template is a really powerful
piece of code which lets us do complex things..
Regards,
Mukul

This has been answered before I'm sure but doing a
relevant search in the archives is tricky.
I've an input doc containing a number of modify-attr
elements
<modify>
<modify-attr attr-name = "abc"/>
<modify-attr attr-name = "123"/>
<modify-attr attr-name = "789"/>
</modify>
I have another document containing a list of
prohibited attributes.
<exclude-list>
<exclude-attr>123</exclude-attr>
</exclude-list>
I want to iterate over my input doc and copy all
those modify-attr elements that are NOT in the
exclude list to the output.
<xsl:template match="modify/modify-attr">
<xsl:variable name="currentAttr"
select="@attr-name"/>
<xsl:variable name="currentNode" select="."/>
<xsl:for-each
select="document('excludedoc')/exclude-list/exclude-attr">
<xsl:when test="$currentAttr=.">
<xsl:message>Exclude</xsl:message>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:copy-of select="$currentNode"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
Obvisouly, this is flawed, I get multiple
modify-attr elements copied to the output because I
cannot see a way of ensuring the for-each only
copies a permitted node once and once only.
I've a feeling this is approaching the problem from
the wrong way....
