Re: [xsl] Merge two XML files

---

I don't know if this will help, but I am writing the same kind of
process. You can see the sheet here
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ashpool/Tessier/com/rohanclan/ashpool/libxslt/doJoin.xsl

(watch for line wrap)

What you are talking about is similar to an SQL join if I understand you
correctly and that is what that sheet does. It doesn't use keys yet and
it is not bug free, but it might give you some ideas.

Cheers,
