XSL to replace text in XML file

neetukk · November 28th, 2006, 05:18 PM

Hi,
I need to create an XSL to take an input XML and modify the contents of a particular tag. So the output XML is almsot same as the input XML except for the contents of a single element.For example, I wanty to change the contents of child2 only. rest of the document remains the same.
example: input.xml

Code:

<root>
    <parent>
        <child1>a</child1>
        <child2>b</child2>
    </parent>
    <parent>
    .
    .
    </parent>
</root>

My actual document is huge. I was lookign at the option of using apply-templates. Is it possible to do something like apply a template to just change the contents of child2 and apply another template to copy the remaining document as it is? Guide me please.
thanks,

Hi,
I think you can do the other way round.
Copy all the contents and try to replace the child2 contents.
