Hi all,
My problem is that I have to write a xslt that will be applied to the xml document
Here is a simple xml input file:--

 In this file < transaction > node may be in multiple numbers (1 to many)..

<response>
<transaction type="RLIN">
       <owner>P</owner>
       <name1></name1>
       <name2></name2>
   </transaction>
   <transaction type="RLIN">
             <owner>S</owner>
       <name1></name1>
       <name2></name2>
   </transaction>
……
…..
…….
<response>


Here <owner> can have value any one of them..
P S or O..
only condition is that there can be only one <owner> that have value as P



 Here is my Output xml file (Output.xml)

             <response>

<name1>XX </name1>
<name2>XX</name2>
        </ response >



Now the logic for the value XX is
the value of XX comes from the <name1> <name2> in that particular transaction node where owner is P

so what will be my x-path expression
thanks in advance ..

/response/transaction/owner[.='P'] should get you to the owner you're looking for.

Hi,
thanks for replying ..
 but my quesion is that how can I select the value of <name1> and <name2> from the same tranaction node where owner value is P...

save the value of the owner to a variable and use that in the xpath given by jkmyoung =D
