Re: Trying to Extract a node with matching attribute

 I tried the XSL that Liam suggested, but it isn't finding anything :(....B 
Below is the xsltproc run with -v:
-bash-4.4$ xsltproc -v mulberry.xsl configfile.xml
creating dictionary for stylesheet
reusing dictionary from mulberry.xsl for stylesheet
xsltParseStylesheetProcess : found stylesheet
xsltPreprocessStylesheet: removing ignorable blank node
xsltCompilePattern : parsing '/'
xsltCompilePattern : parsed /, default priority 0.500000
added pattern : '/' priority 0.500000
parsed 1 templates
Resolving attribute sets references
Creating sub-dictionary from stylesheet for transformation
Registered 0 modules
reusing transformation dict for output
Registering global variables
Registering global variables from mulberry.xsl
xsltProcessOneNode: applying template '/' for /
xsltValueOf: select //Setting[@Name = 'TheOneIWant']
xsltValueOf: result ''
freeing transformation dictionary
freeing dictionary from stylesheet


Here's snippet of the XML file which should have matched:
B B B B B B B B B B B  <Setting Name="TheOneIWant" Type="htf:map">
B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <Setting Name="requiresignedassertion"
Type="xsd:boolean">false</Setting>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <Setting Name="succinctid"
Type="xsd:string">2KYi3gZ7THiZU0Hbft/mYgio0PE=</Setting>

..B B B B B B B B B  </Setting>..
Also, I think that I may not have been clear about what I want as the output
of running the XSLT...
If the XSLT was successful, I want the output to be the ENTIRE matching node,
including all the contents of the node, i.e.:
B B B B B B B B B B B  <Setting Name="TheOneIWant" Type="htf:map">
B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <Setting Name="requiresignedassertion"
Type="xsd:boolean">false</Setting>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <Setting Name="succinctid"
Type="xsd:string">2KYi3gZ7THiZU0Hbft/mYgio0PE=</Setting>

..B B B B B B B B B  </Setting>
That's why, in my original post, I thought I had to include use of the
identity transformation.

My apologies if I wasn't clear about that.
Thanks,Jim

 Might needB to use <xsl:output method="text"/> as well.

I think what you want is simply XPath here.

But with XSLT you could use,

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

B  <xsl:template match="/">
B  B  <xsl:value-of select="//Setting[@Name = 'TheOneIWant']" />
B  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The xsl:value-of "instruction" evalueates its argument and converts the
result to a string (actually a "text node").

The contents of the "select" attribute is an XPath expression.
