In XSLT you don't remove the elements you want to lose, you copy the elements you want to keep. So: <xsl:template match="Root"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:copy-of select="Story[.='End Here']/following-sibling::*"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Chad Chelius [mailto:cchelius@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 24 June 2006 13:04 > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Removing elements based on contents > > I have an XML file that looks something like this: > > <Root> > <Story>Content</Story> > <Story>More Content</Story> > <Story>End Here</Story> > <Story>Good stuff that I want</Story> > </Root> > > My question is: Is there a way using XSLT to remove all > elements up to and including the one who's content contains > <Story>End Here</ > Story> and leave the rest intact?
