Re: copy nodes based on the criteria

Hi Senthil,
  Please try this ...

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

<xsl:output indent="yes" />

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

<xsl:template match="*[not(@Apply = '1')][not(ancestor::*[@Apply =
'1'] or descendant::*[@Apply = '1'])]" />

</xsl:stylesheet>

This stylesheet uses the identity template, plus a template for
excluding the desired elements.
