Mike: Thanks for the very helpful contribution. However, I'm curious about how to only extact the comments. In this example, it extracts the comments AND the xml tags, how do I get just comments?

Read http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#built-in-rule and then it should be apparent why this simple stylesheet will (well, should) do what you want: <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="comment()"> <xsl:copy/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="text()|@*"/> </xsl:stylesheet> - Mike ____________________________________________________________________ Mike J.
