Hi,

I have got the following in xml document
<Input>
<Data>
<group/>
<name>EXTENSION_ONE</name>
</Data>
<Data>
<group>GROUP_TWO</group>
<name>EXTENSION_TWO</name>
</Data>
<Data>
<group/>
<name>EXTENSION_THREE</name>
</Data>
</Input>

and the following as a variable in the xsl
<xsl:variable name="dataNames">
<data name="EXTENSION_ONE" group=""/>
<data name="EXTENSION_TWO" group="GROUP_TWO"/>

</xsl:variable>

i would like to get the following output
<Input>
<Data>
<group/>
<name>EXTENSION_ONE</name>
</Data>
<Data>
<group>GROUP_TWO</group>
<name>EXTENSION_TWO</name>
</Data>
</Input>

what i'm trying to do is iterate through the Data in the xml and for each input/Data match the name and group against the name and group in variable dataNames
any ideas on how to do this ?

Try this:

Code:

<xsl:for-each select="/Input/Data">
  <xsl:if test="$dataNames/data[@name=current()/name and @group=current()/group">
     <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
