Sorry about the unclear requirement... A couple of things to note: There will only be ONE <AA> with attribute id=1, There CAN be more than one <AA> with attribute id=xxx There will ONLY be <AA> elements with two diff. attribute ids, id=1, and id=xxx. and, id attribute for element <A> is actually ignored. There can be duplicate <AA> elements (duplicate id attribute) across different <A> element, but not within same <A> element. So, worst case scenario for source XML would be: <A id=1> <AA id=1>data1</AA> <AA id=2>text1</AA> </A> <A id=2> <AA id=1>data1</AA> <AA id=2>text1</AA> <AA id=2>text2</AA> <AA id=2>text3</AA> </A> and the desired target: <A id=1> <AA id=1>data1</AA> <AA id=2>text1</AA> </A> <A id=2> <AA id=1>data1</AA> <AA id=2>text1</AA> </A> <A id=2> <AA id=1>data1</AA> <AA id=2>text2</AA> </A> <A id=2> <AA id=1>data1</AA> <AA id=2>text3</AA> </A> I'm thinking of maybe creating a temp variable that will contain the duplicate nodes within <A> and then recreate the resulting xml tree? -dK On Mon, 13 Dec 2004 19:58:57 -0000, Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > I want to transform this XML: > > > > <A id=1> > > <AA id=1/> > > <AA id=2/> > > </A> > > <A id=2> > > <AA id=1>data1</AA> > > <AA id=2>text1</AA> <<-- These two nodes to be split... > > <AA id=2>text2</AA> <<-- These two nodes to be split... > > </A> > > > > TO: > > > > <A id=1> > > <AA id=1/> > > <AA id=2/> > > </A> > > <A id=2> > > <AA id=1>data1</AA> > > <AA id=2>text1</AA> > > </A> > > <A id=2_1> > > <AA id=1>data1</AA> > > <AA id=2>text2</AA> > > </A> > > This is a rather unusual variant of the usual grouping problems.
