Re: : Sibling in the Pattern(match)

Hi Dimitre,

It is the true for the
"Member[@name='acc1']/Member[@name='acc11'" in the
match attribute.

But if want to match the sibling of the member with
name "acc11" in this case, can I say something like
this?

match="*[preceding-sibling::Member[@name
='acc1']/Member[@name='acc11']]"


If I did this, it will remove the siblings of the
member with the name "acc1", not "acc11".

That is the question i have here.

Thanks
