When taking this further i have realised that maybe the problem is more complicate dthan i first thought, see u what u think below::
(apologies for the layout, done in hotmail so may look a little shabby)
the xml file looks like this:


<t>
<het position="1">
<entrydata columnnumber="0">
<text>some more text here</text></entrydata>
</het>
<het position="1.1">
<entrydata columnnumber="1">
<text>some more text here</text></entrydata>
</het>
<het position="1.1.1">
<entrydata columnnumber="2">
<text>text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="3">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="4">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="5">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="6">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="7">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="8">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="9">
<text></text></entrydata>
</het>
<het position="1.1.2">
<entrydata columnnumber="2">
<text>text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="3">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="4">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="5">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="6">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="7">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="8">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="9">
<text></text></entrydata>
</het>
<het position="2">
<entrydata columnnumber="0">
<text>some more text here</text></entrydata>
</het>
<het position="2.1">
<entrydata columnnumber="1">
<text>some more text here</text></entrydata>
</het>
<het position="2.1.1">
<entrydata columnnumber="2">
<text>text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="3">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="4">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="5">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="6">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="7">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="8">
<text>more text here</text></entrydata>
<entrydata columnnumber="9">
<text></text></entrydata>
</het>
</t>

and i was trying to recode it to nest:


<t> <het position="1"> <entrydata columnnumber="0"> <text>some more text here</text></entrydata> <het position="1.1"> <entrydata columnnumber="1"> <text>some more text here</text></entrydata> <het position="1.1.1"> <entrydata columnnumber="2"> <text>text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="3"> <text>more text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="4"> <text>more text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="5"> <text>more text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="6"> <text>more text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="7"> <text>more text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="8"> <text>more text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="9"> <text></text></entrydata> </het> <het position="1.1.2"> <entrydata columnnumber="2"> <text>text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="3"> <text>more text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="4"> <text>more text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="5"> <text>more text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="6"> <text>more text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="7"> <text>more text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="8"> <text>more text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="9"> <text></text></entrydata> </het> </het> </het> <het position="2"> <entrydata columnnumber="0"> <text>some more text here</text></entrydata> <het position="2.1"> <entrydata columnnumber="1"> <text>some more text here</text></entrydata> <het position="2.1.1"> <entrydata columnnumber="2"> <text>text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="3"> <text>more text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="4"> <text>more text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="5"> <text>more text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="6"> <text>more text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="7"> <text>more text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="8"> <text>more text here</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="9"> <text></text></entrydata> </het> </het> </het> </t> but still hvaing a meard with it, any suggestions would be appreciated.

also, at the same time i thought that renaming different levelled hets would be a good idea- any het with 1-9 = res, 1.1-1.9 = rol, 1.1.1-1.1.9 = prod,
so it would look like
<t>
<res>
<rol>
<prod>
</prod>
<prod>
</prod>
</rol>
<rol>
<prod>
</prod>
</rol>
</res>
</t>
would i have to create new elements or is there a function to change element names??

This transformation:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:variable name="Digits" select="1234567890"/>

 <xsl:template match="/*">
  <t>
   <xsl:apply-templates
    select="het[not(contains(@position, '.'))]"/>
   </t>
 </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="het">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
      <xsl:apply-templates
       select="../het[starts-with(@position, current()/@position)
                     and
                      string-length(translate(@position,
                                              $Digits,
                                              ''
                                              )
                                   )
                      =
                       1 + string-length(translate(current()/@position,
                                                   $Digits,
                                                  ''
                                                  )
                                         )
                     ]"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


When applied to your source.xml:


<t>
  <het position="1"></het>
  <het position="1.1"></het>
  <het position="1.1.1"></het>
  <het position="1.1.2"></het>
  <het position="1.2"></het>
  <het position="1.2.1"></het>
  <het position="2"></het>
  <het position="2.1"></het>
  <het position="2.1.1"></het>
</t>

produces the wanted result:


<t> <het position="1"> <het position="1.1"> <het position="1.1.1"/> <het position="1.1.2"/> </het> <het position="1.2"> <het position="1.2.1"/> </het> </het> <het position="2"> <het position="2.1"> <het position="2.1.1"/> </het> </het> </t>
