I'm trying to create an xquery that can search and replace a node based on it's tagname. It'd be nice if the xquery or function(s) would be generic enough such that if the structure changes I don't have to modify the code. I've tried various for loops and functions but keep hitting a wall. Thanx in advance for any help.

Here's the xml i'm starting with:

<a>
<b>
<c/>
<c/>
</b>
<d/>
</a>

What I want as output:

<a>
<b>
<newnode/>
<newnode/>
</b>
<d/>
</a>

Hi, Joel.

You can do this by defining a function using the standard XQuery grammar. This function (attached) recursively navigates a given tree and determines whether or not the element names it finds need to be renamed.

Hope this helps.

Thanx. That helps a lot.

However, I guess I didn't explain totally what I was looking for (your response though answered my question as written). I'll try and see if I can tweak the function further myself, maybe learn a few more things along the way. If not, I'll be back =)
