Hi,
Can you please tell me what the match does "SALES//*" ? When i change it,the output varies and i am not ables to catch what is happenning.

MY XML TREE
----------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<SALES>
<SALE>
<REGION>Americas</REGION>
<SOFTWARE>1200</SOFTWARE>
<HARDWARE>850</HARDWARE>
<SERVICES>2000</SERVICES>
<EXTENDED_PRICE>150000.56</EXTENDED_PRICE>
<NET_PRICE>0</NET_PRICE>
<BILLING_CURRENCY>USD</BILLING_CURRENCY>
</SALE>
<SALE>
<REGION>EMEA</REGION>
<SOFTWARE>1000</SOFTWARE>
<HARDWARE>800</HARDWARE>
<SERVICES>1100</SERVICES>
<EXTENDED_PRICE>123456</EXTENDED_PRICE>
<NET_PRICE>123456</NET_PRICE>
<BILLING_CURRENCY>USD</BILLING_CURRENCY>
</SALE>
<SALE>
<REGION>APAC</REGION>
<SOFTWARE>900</SOFTWARE>
<HARDWARE>1200</HARDWARE>
<SERVICES>1500</SERVICES>
<EXTENDED_PRICE>689726</EXTENDED_PRICE>
<NET_PRICE>123456</NET_PRICE>
<BILLING_CURRENCY>USD</BILLING_CURRENCY>
</SALE>
</SALES>

Case 1
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="SALES//*">
<xsl:for-each select="ancestor-or-self::*/SALE">
<xsl:value-of select="ancestor-or-self::*/EXTENDED_PRICE"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

My output is
150000.56123456689726
150000.56123456689726
150000.56123456689726

Case 2 I changed the match to SALE//* it gives me

150000.56123456689726
150000.56123456689726
150000.56123456689726
150000.56123456689726
150000.56123456689726
150000.56123456689726
150000.56123456689726


150000.56123456689726
150000.56123456689726
150000.56123456689726
150000.56123456689726
150000.56123456689726
150000.56123456689726
150000.56123456689726


150000.56123456689726
150000.56123456689726
150000.56123456689726
150000.56123456689726
150000.56123456689726
150000.56123456689726
150000.56123456689726



But my required output is EXTENDED_PRICE of each SALE node..



Please explain me the funda in match and select..I am totally confused..



Thanks,
Dwarak

We can't possible tech you a language like XSLT in the scope of message.

Please search "XSLT XPath tutorial" on google.

If you need to simply display all extened prices do the following

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="text()"/>

<xsl:template match="EXTENDED_PRICE">
<xsl:value-of select="concat(. , '&#10;')"/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Hope this helps
