Hi All

Currently I am in the process of converting a xml file into another.

The source xml file has numerous parent tags but I do not need all the parents info in my destination xml file.

I have a source xml file which is something like this

*******************************************************

<topparent>
<parent>
<parent-name>
GALAXY
</parent-name>

<child id ="1">
all other xml tags sub child ones
</child>
</parent>
</topparent>

*******************************************************

Now I have written an xsl which is something like this

<xsl:template match="child"> ALL XSL PROCESSING </xsl:template>

What I intend to do is just trap all tags wid node child & only retrieve tat info which is happening properly.
But somehow the parent-name is also getting printed in my output file which I want to ignore. I have no clue how it gets printed even when I do not exactly have a flow included for it in my xsl file.

Do post your thoughts

Regards

James Durning

You still need to catch those elements, or they will output their text nodes by default.
<xsl:template match="*"/>
