Hi,

Using xml and xsl, I would like to parse input xml for a particular node and tag. If the tag value starts with “z” then I would like to delete that node itself. (or create new file without this node)

Have attached a sample xml file for reference. From this I would expect the last node should be removed.

if ListOfFields/Field/ListOfFieldTranslations/FieldTranslation/DisplayName starts with z then this delete node

<ns1:Field>
<ns1:Name>name4</ns1:Name>
<ns1:ListOfFieldTranslations>
<ns1:FieldTranslation>
<ns1:DisplayName>zIndividual</ns1:DisplayName>
<ns1:ValidationErrorMsg>Individual.</ns1:ValidationErrorMsg>
</ns1:FieldTranslation>
</ns1:ListOfFieldTranslations>
</ns1:Field>

Also could you please suggest XSLT editor for me learn or play arount? or a best XML/XLST editor for a reasonable price

Thanks in advance.

It is not clear from the description which node you want to remove:
DisplayName, Field, or something else.

In any case the project attached will get you started.
