Robert NordinSubject: XML to XML

Hello everybody... this is my first post...

i am new to XSL.. and I have a problem that I cannot solve. I have searched and searched for an answer but none targets my problem exactly... or at least I cannot get it to work.

I have the following example XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<clan>
<family>
<dad>
<name sex="man">Robert</name>
<phone>000 - 000 00 00</phone>
</dad>
<mom>
<name sex="woman">Netan</name>
<phone>111 - 111 11 11</phone>
</mom>
<our_children>

</our_children>
</familj>
<children>
<name>Daniel</name>
<name>Tina</name>
</children>
</clan>

Now... my proble is that I am supposed to transform this into another XML. The new XML should skip the <clan> tag and the <children> tag and move the tags within <children> into the <our_children> tag. I cannot get this to work.

Result should look like this:

<family>
<dad>
<name sex="man">Robert</name>
<phone>000 - 000 00 00</phone>
</dad>
<mom>
<name sex="woman">Netan</name>
<phone>111 - 111 11 11</phone>
</mom>
<our_children>
<name>Daniel</name>
<name>Tina</name>
</our_children>
</familj>

I would be VERY grateful if someone can help me with this problem...

Robert, this should do the trick

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

<!-- copy almost everythging, unchanged -->
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<!-- this template replaces the empty our_children node
with one full of kids -->
<xsl:template match="our_children">
<our_children>
<!-- have the kids move in with us -->
<xsl:copy-of select="../../children/*"/>
</our_children>
</xsl:template>

<!-- this template prevents the old children from
being copied, ie it deletes the old children nodes -->
<xsl:template match="children"/>

</xsl:stylesheet>

- clyde

Hmm... come to think of it.. there is still one small problem...

The attributes of mom and dad are not in the result xml...

I will try and find a solution to this...

<!-- copy almost everythging, unchanged -->
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<!-- this template replaces the empty our_children node with one full of kids -->
<xsl:template match="våra_barn">
<våra_barn>
<!-- have the kids move in with us -->
<xsl:copy-of select="../../barn/*"/>
</våra_barn>
</xsl:template>

<!-- this template prevents the old children from being copied, ie it deletes the old children nodes -->
<xsl:template match="barn"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>

If I added the select="node()|@*" to the first template it works... :-)

Thanks.
