Hi again,

I have two files and want to insert some elements in the file2 just after the similar set of elements in the file1. That is in the following two files I need to insert the element <ActorType> in the file2 just after the last <ActorType> element in file1 (I just want the output file to have similar nodes grouped together). Please note that I am copying some other elements from file2 to file 1 at the same time. I can insert this at the end as it is mentioned in the answer to my previous posting but this time I want the new elements to be copied just after the similar elements in the file1.




file1:

<rdf:RDF --goes here>
<SomeOtherElementsGoHere/>
<ActorType rdf:ID="xx"/>
<ActorType rdf:ID="xy"/>
<ActorType rdf:ID="xz"/>
<Transaction rdf:ID="vi34+vi94">

It seems to me that you need to study the answers to your previous questions until you understand why the solutions work. You will then be able to use this knowledge to find the solutions to other similar problems. There's no point in my helping you with your coding problems if you can't use the answers to increase your understanding and become more proficient.

Ok I can reply for that. First I must tell you that your first answer helped me a lot to proceed and thereafter I used it to find solutions to my next couple of problems (So don't worry I am improving myself). To solve my problem in this case I tried to go through the following-sibling axis as I understand I should paste the new nodes following to the similar nodes in the file1. I am using your XSLT 2.0 book and still stuck in finding the proper way to access the following-sibling::Actortype. My specific question is how should I do that? I tried to write another template rule:

<xsl:template match="following-sibling::Actortype" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
                                        xmlns:owl="http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#"
                                        xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#">
          <xsl:copy>
          <xsl:apply-templates/>
          <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
          <xsl:copy-of select="$file2/*/ActorType"/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

But it fails as it might be wrong to specify the context node in this way. So can you help me by just giving a clue how I should try?
