xsl condition search all nodes
Why don't you easily test it? It's absolutely correct.

Only 2 comments:

1. '.' means all descendant text-nodes of the current node. In your case it causes no problem, but '.' of <root> is 'ABCDEFABCFGHABC'. So using 'text()' instead of '.' is safer.

2. Why are you using '//root...'? '//' searches the root and all descendants - so all nodes in your XML - for this pattern. Remove one of the slashes and it will be correct too - and with big XML-files very much faster.

Regards,

Joerg

i want to search the element textid which has a text = 'ABC'

can i acheive this by the for-each condition

<xsl:for-each select="//root/children/textid[.='ABC']">

xml structure being

<root>
<children>
  <textid>ABC</textid>
</children>
<children>
  <textid>DEF</textid>
</children>
<children>
  <textid>ABC</textid>
</children>
<children>
  <textid>FGH</textid>
</children>
<children>
  <textid>ABC</textid>
</children>
</root>

please correct me if i am wrong
i am writing the xsl like below

<xsl:for-each select="//root/children/textid[.='ABC']">
<!-- to print the text -->
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>

laura
