With XSLT 2.0, you can accomplish this as following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="2.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="root">
<root>
<xsl:for-each-group select="data" group-by="@name">
<xsl:copy-of select="current-group()[1]" />
</xsl:for-each-group>
</root>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hi All,
Following is my sample xml file.
I want to filter out similar (duplicated) elements and make a new xml
which has distinct values.
Matching and filtering need to be done based on Attribute on the first
tag,
Ex,
<data name="LBL_Inch"> --> Attribute "LBL_Inch"
<root>
<data name="LBL_Inch">
<value>Inch</value>
<comment>Inches</comment>
</data>
<data name="LBL_MM">
<value>mm</value>
<comment>MM</comment>
</data>
<data name="LBL_MM">
<value>mm</value>
<comment>MM</comment>
</data>
</root>
After transformation I need a xml file like this,
<root>
<data name="LBL_Inch">
<value>Inch</value>
<comment>Inches</comment>
</data>
<data name="LBL_MM">
<value>mm</value>
<comment>MM</comment>
</data>
</root>
Please help me on this...
- Thank you all
