Start with the identity transformation. (See the XSLT Recommendation or

Then add a template which recognizes the place where you want to do

that point.

Here is a sample stylesheet that uses the identity transformation
template and two templates to modify the ResponseFile and StatusFile
elements:

<xsl:stylesheet

* *<xsl:param name="response_file" select="'e:/tmp/response.xml'"/>

>
* *<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
* * *<xsl:copy>
* * * *<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
* * *</xsl:copy>
* *</xsl:template>
>
* *<xsl:template match="ResponseFile[not(node())]">
* * *<xsl:copy>
* * * *<xsl:value-of select="$response_file"/>
* * *</xsl:copy>
* *</xsl:template>
>
* *<xsl:template match="StatusFile[not(node())]">
* * *<xsl:copy>

"ResponseFile Mode" and skipping the value "OverWrite" since my Mode
can have several different
values that I may want to ignore.

If you want to copy the attribute use

* *<xsl:template match="ResponseFile[not(node())]">
* * *<xsl:copy>
* * * *<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
* * * *<xsl:value-of select="$response_file"/>

If you want to add the text if the Mode attribute exists then use
