Hello All, I have XML with a bunch of different processing instructions in them; here is a sample: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <info> <?Fm Condstart VbV-VCO?> <p>For this, use <b>that </b>to do that.</p> <?Fm Condend VbV-VCO?> <p><?Fm Condstart USB?>If you need this, do that.<?Fm Condend USB?></p> </info> For each "pair" of processing instructions (Condstart and Condend with the same string), I want to find all of the nodes between them. I have this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" exclude-result-prefixes="xs" version="2.0"> <xsl:output indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="descendant::node()[preceding-sibling::processing-instruction('Fm')[. ='Condstart VbV-VCO']][following-sibling::processing-instruction('Fm')[.='Condend VbV-VCO']]"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="node()"> <xsl:copy-of select="."/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> which essentially works. But what I am looking for is a general algorithm for doing this with dozens of pairs like this. I am thinking that I can set up a lookup xml file with a list of the names and then process the list. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you very much. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc. rick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 585-366-4017
