Re: Antw: Merging two xml files

Hi,
You can better send questions to the xsl-list. In this way everybody can
learn from the questions and answers and everyone can answer!

Change (untested):
<xsl:variable name="pin" select="$emps//employee[@id = $id]/@pincode"/>
<employee>
     <xsl:if test="$pin>
          <xsl:attribute name="pincode">
               <xsl:value-of select="$pin"/>
          </xsl:attribute>
     </xsl:if>
     <!-- copy the child nodes -->
          <xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
         <!-- copy the address -->
         <xsl:copy-of select="$emps//employee[@id =$id]/address"/>
  </employee>

Variable $pin will test to true if it exists otherwise it will be false.

Cheers,
Agnes
