I have the following XML:

<Box>
  <Color>Fuchsia</Color>
  <Toy>Ball</Toy>
</Box>

If <Color> is "Fuchsia", I like to change the value of <Toy> to be "Pink Ball". The <Color> tag is then deleted.

Or if <Color> is "Lavender", I like to change the value of <Toy> to be "Purple Ball". The <Color> tag is then deleted.

The new XML should be:

<Box>
   <Toy>Pink Ball</Toy>
</Box>

Here is my XSLT so far:

<xsl:template name="Box"/>
   <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="contains(normalize-space(.), 'Fuchsia')">
           <xsl:copy-of select="Toy"/>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="contains(normalize-space(.), 'Lavender')">
         <xsl:copy-of select="Toy"/>
      </xsl:when>
   </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Please help.

<xsl:template match="Box[Color='Fuschia']">
  <Box><Toy>Pink Ball</Toy></Box>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Box[Color='Lavender']">
  <Box><Toy>Purple Ball</Toy></Box>
</xsl:template>

Thanks for your quick response.

Sorry, I was not cleared in my previous message. I am looking for more into concatenation since I might not know the value of <Toy>. I'm looking for something like this.

 "Pink" + the value of <Toy>

If value of <Toy> is "Ball", then the result is "Pink Ball".
If value of <Toy> is "Block", then the result is "Pink Block".

Appreciate any helps.

<xsl:template match="Box[Color='Fuschia']">
  <Box><Toy>Pink <xsl:value-of select="Toy"/></Toy></Box>
</xsl:template>

I'm not sure why you're finding this so difficult - you probably need to do some more background reading about the language before you do any more coding.
