Hi Dongzhi, > I'd like to loop through all the children nodes under <Sample>, Looping is easiest with <xsl:for-each>: <xsl:for-each select="Sample/*"> ... </xsl:for-each> > find those have non-empty value, Filter the elements that you've selected using a predicate that tests whether they have a string value: <xsl:for-each select="Sample/*[string()]"> ... </xsl:for-each> > and construct a String with all those values append to each other > with a "," delimiter in between them, i.e. the result String should > look like: "something,something else,". The <xsl:value-of> gets the string value of the element; add the comma using <xsl:text>. <xsl:for-each select="Sample/*[string()]"> <xsl:value-of select="." /> <xsl:text>,</xsl:text> </xsl:for-each> > And I need to assign this String to a variable since I need to use > it elsewhere. Just wrap the above in an <xsl:variable> element as follows: <xsl:variable name="String"> <xsl:for-each select="Sample/*[string()]"> <xsl:value-of select="." /> <xsl:text>,</xsl:text> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:variable> Technically, the $String variable is set to a result tree fragment containing a single text node whose string value is the value that you're after, but this will make no difference when you use the variable as you would a string.
