Hi,

The following is my input xml file.

<root>
   ...
   ...
   <table>
     <tr>
        <td>name</td>
         <td>no</td>
     </tr>
   </table>
    <address>Address of the customer </address>
.....
 <table>
     <tr>
        <td>Customer Name</td>
         <td>Customer Id</td>
     </tr>
   </table>
   <address>Address of the new customer</address>
.......

<table>
     <tr>
        <td>Customer Name</td>
         <td>Customer Id</td>
     </tr>
   </table>

</root>
..........

output file

<table>
     <tr>
        <td>name</td>
         <td>no</td>
     </tr>
    <tr> Address of the customer</tr>
</table>
 .....
<table>
     <tr>
        <td>Customer Name</td>
         <td>Customer Id</td>
     </tr>
<tr> Address of the new customer</tr>
  </table>
.....
<table>
     <tr>
        <td>Customer Name</td>
         <td>Customer Id</td>
     </tr>
</table>

My requirement is that if there is any <address> tag in between two table tags, I have to create the contents of the <address> as the row to the previous table element. I don't know how to proceed on this.

Thanks in advance,
Raja

Something like this:

<xsl:template match="table">
<table>
  <xsl:copy-of select="child::node()"/>
  <xsl:if test="following-sibling::*[1][self::address]">
    <tr><xsl:copy-of select="following-sibling::*[1]"/></tr>
  </xsl:if>
</table>
</xsl:template>

kay,

 Thanks. Sorry for not clearly mentioning the scenario. <address> tag may not be immediate sibling of <table>. Anyway It is a sibling only. but it may not be immediate one.

If you want any address that comes before the next table, use

following-sibling::*[self::address|self:table][1][self::address]
