<ROOT>
<MC id="1">
<SC BCID="12">
<SC BCID="13">
<SC BCID="14">
<MC>
<MC id="2">
<SC BCID="15">
<SC BCID="16">
<SC BCID="17">
<MC>
<MC id="3">
<SC BCID="21">
<SC BCID="22">
<SC BCID="23">
<MC>
<ROOT>

if i give a search string of 12,16,21,
i have to get

<ROOT>
<MC id="1">
<SC BCID="12">
<MC>
<MC id="2">
<SC BCID="16">
<MC>
<MC id="3">
<SC BCID="21">
<MC>
<ROOT>

if my search string is 12,i get the desired result
if my search stirng is 13, i get a blank xml with only the <ROOT>

Any suggestion

No, I can't give you a clue. It would help if you wrote the question in
grammatical sentences, and it would help even more if you showed us what
your source XML and stylesheet look like.
