Hi,

I am fairly new to XSL. I have been given some XML and I need to make the xml hierarchical. Logically this seems fairly simple as to make it hierarchical is just a case of matching ids, but I have tried numerous methods to get the structure I need to no avail. I am now putting my ineptitude down to my inexperience.

<PW xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<w id="24" name="I">
<success>
<w id="29" name="A"/>
</success>
<failure xsi:nil="true" />
</w>
<w id="29" name="A">
<success>
<w id="32" name="M"/>
</success>
<failure>
<w id="39" name="E"/>
<w id="38" name="AE"/>
</failure>
</w>
<w id="32" name="M">
<success>
<w id="33" name="ME"/>
<w id="36" name="CE"/>
</success>
<failure>
<w id="34" name="ME"/>
<w id="35" name="T"/>
</failure>
</w>
</PW>

This is just a snippet as the xml i need to convert carries on, but the above should give an indcation of what i require.
I need the node 'A' id 29 under the success node, below 'I' to be replaced by the 'A' node, the sibling of 'I'. This occurs throughout the document.
I am thinking this needs to be recursive but I am not entirely sure how to achieve this.

Thank you in advance
Martin
