XSLT: looking help with XPath-expression

Gerald Aichholzer

Hello NG,

I have a XML file looking like:


<plugin>
<icon></icon>

<object>

</object>
<symbol>

</symbol>
</plugin>
and I am looking for an XPath-Expression which selects
the following fragment (including attributes if present):

<plugin>
<icon></icon>

<object>

</object>
</plugin>

I know that I can select

. the attributes of <plugin> using
plugin/@*

. object and all subelements with attributes using
plugin/object/*|plugin/object/@*

. but how can I add only the direct childs of objects
with attributes?
thanx in advance,
Gerald

You can't do that. XPath can only return nodes that are in the
original document, and you want a modified version of the <plugin>
element that only has some of the original children.

Thank you, Martin.

That doesn't do what your example shows, but maybe it does what you
want.

As soon as the XslTransform hits an extension function, it fails with an invalid argument exception.
