Hello List, I have a simple problem but I'm not sure whether xslt is the proper tool. I have thousands of XML files of very similar structure strictly adhering to a common document type. All documents have a node that I need to copy together with the attributes and the children and the attributes to a new node with a different value in on attribute. The reulting document must be the same plus that extra node. Example: the following file ... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" ?> <filter name="ARMCheckTest"> <group section="mini"> </group> <group section="basic"> <test name="testCheck1"></test> <test name="testCheck2"></test> </group> </filter> ... needs to be transformed into <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" ?> <filter name="ARMCheckTest"> <group section="mini"> </group> <group section="basic"> <test name="testCheck1"></test> <test name="testCheck2"></test> </group> <group section="basic-alt"> <test name="testCheck1"></test> <test name="testCheck2"></test> </group> </filter> That is the node "group" with the attribute section="basic" needs to be duplicated and the value for section must be modified. I can think of a couple of implementations using xsl:foreach or xsl:if but I'm sure I would come up with something alittle too complicated. What's the easiest implemetation to do this? thanks jacques
