Subject: xslt, xml parsing text between nodes.
Author: seema r

I am trying to parse an xml which looks like this-
<abcd>
<short param="3">interface
index: <parameter id="1" value="Index"/> ;
Status: <parameter id="2" value="Status"/> ;
StatusXyz: <parameter id="3" value="StatusXyz"/> ;
</short>
</abcd>

I need to read the String in the short node,
I tried but I could get it as
interface
index:
Status:
StatusXyz:

or by using short/text() I could read it as
interface
index:

what I need is the result you get when copy of is used. i.e in format
interface
index: <parameter id="1" value="Index"/> ;
Status: <parameter id="2" value="Status"/> ;
StatusXyz: <parameter id="3" value="StatusXyz"/> ;

if I use copy of the whole String is sent to the output file. Can I somehow get the same result in a String format and I should be able to modify it to replace parameter tag by another String and then direct it to output.

Please help.
thanks in advance.

Seems to me you are trying to avoid using XSLT to do pure string manipulation...

If you just want to create an output with a different name for one of the elements in the input, what about doing something like...

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="parameter">
<MyNewParameterName>
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
<xsl:attribute name="name()"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</MyNewParameterName>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element name="{name()}">
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
<xsl:attribute name="name()"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
