Hi Rush,
Please try this XSL -
It is variation of identity transform..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="node() | @*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<!-- include only 1st y , and exclude all z -->
<xsl:template match="y[ancestor::y or preceding::y] |
z" />
</xsl:stylesheet>
Regards,
Mukul

Hi all,
My first post here and I want to start by saying how
much I appreciate
the big FAQ, the Jeni site, etc. It has all helped
me tremendously.
I can't find an answer to this one, though, so here
goes...
My XML doc has this basic structure:
<a>
<b>
<c>
<!-- This is the section of interest -->
</c>
</b>
</a>
The <c> element can contain any combination of
elements <d> through <z>.
Elements <y> and <z> have special uses.
I want to create a global variable that contains the
result tree
fragment contained within element <c>, with the
following restrictions:
I only want to include the first <y> element that is
contained within
<c>, no matter where it occurs. There may be no <y>
elements present.
I want to exclude all <z> elements that are
contained within <c>, no
matter where they occur. Again, there may be none
present.
Later on in my stylesheet, I use exslt:node-set() on
the variable and
process the node set.
For instance, given this source:
<a><b><c>
<d>
<z>
<g />
</d>
<q>
<r>
<y />
<z />
</r>
<y />
<q>
<y>
</c></b></a>
I want the selection to contain this:
<a><b><c>
<d>
<g />
</d>
<q>
<r>
<y />
</r>
<q>
</c></b></a>
(<z> elements are gone, only the first <y> element
remains.)
I have tried many variations on the select portion
of the variable
definition. I can filter the immediate children of
<c>, OR the second
level children, etc., but I can't seem to come up
with anything that
handles <y> and <z> appearing at any depth in the
descendant tree.
I'm prepared to be humiliated by some obvious
solution... Can anyone
please help?
Thanks,
Rush
