> Actually I was being lazy. I think that what Srini wanted was: Jeni, Wendell - Thanks for your responses. They were useful, and I was able to play with it and get what I need. I ended up writing a SAX parser, and compared it with a small XSL script, based on your suggestions. I am amazed, at how easy it is with XSL once you get the hang of it. And, Sorry folks, for not being too clear. I am researching on how an XML object model (objects serialized in XML) retrofit over a relational database can communicate with applications. For simplicity, I designed it so that all the objects ("<o>" tags with oids) are at the root level with references from other objects. However, while generating the object data from relational SQL queries, it is far easier to nest them. So, I thought of a post-processing step that re-orders all the objects, and bring them at the same level. Does anyone know of other tools or similar efforts? Once again, thanks for all your input. -Srini > > <xsl:strip-space elements="*" /> > > <xsl:template match="list"> > <xsl:apply-templates select=".//o"> > <xsl:sort select="count(node())" data-type="number" /> > </xsl:apply-templates> > </xsl:template> > > <xsl:template match="o"> > <o> > <xsl:apply-templates select="a | b | text()" /> > </o> > </xsl:template> > > <xsl:template match="a | b"> > <xsl:copy> > <xsl:copy-of select="@*" /> > <xsl:if test="o"> > <xsl:comment> > <xsl:text> for </xsl:text> > <xsl:for-each select=".//o[not(o)]"> > <xsl:value-of select="number()" /> > <xsl:if test="position() != last()">, </xsl:if> > </xsl:for-each> > <xsl:text> </xsl:text> > </xsl:comment> > </xsl:if> > </xsl:copy> > </xsl:template> > > At least it gives the required output for the single sample > document... > > Jeni > > --- > Jeni Tennison > http://www.jenitennison.com/ > > > XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list > > XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
