Hi
I have following XML codefragment

<Employee>
<Array length="3">
<ArrayElement>AAAAAA</ArrayElement>
<ArrayElement>BBBBBB</ArrayElement>
<ArrayElement>CCCCCC</ArrayElement>
</Array>
</Employee>

And i want to remove BBBBB from the above and also i want to have the
Array length as 2

ie after transformation i need

<Employee>
<Array length="2">
<ArrayElement>AAAAAA</ArrayElement>
<ArrayElement>CCCCCC</ArrayElement>
</Array>
</Employee>

Can anybody give me sample code how can i do this. I can remove BBBB but dont know how to change the length As i dont know how many such ArrayElements are present.

Thanks In Advance


Vijay

Try

<xsl:template match="Array">
  <xsl:variable name="retain" select="ArrayElement[not(. = 'BBBBBB')]"/>
  <xsl:attribute name="length">
    <xsl:value-of select="count($retain"/>
  </xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:copy-of select="$retain"/>
</xsl:template>
