Hi all
Any body is there who can help meâ€¦.
I have xml fileâ€¦..

<Project>
<Body>
<TXT><TXT>
<TXT>Hello TXT <TXT>
<Model><Model>
<Model>hello model<Model>
<Body>
</Project>
In this xml file two TXT element one is empty & other has value
I want to remove the empty elpementâ€¦

want the output like this

<Project>
<Body>
(donâ€™t want TXT element)
<TXT>Hello TXT <TXT>
<Model><Model>
<Model>hello model<Model>
<Body>
</Project>

I wrote one xslt file
Like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:if test=". != '' ">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

By this xslt , I got the output like this

<Project>
<Body>
<TXT>Hello TXT <TXT>
<Model>hello model<Model>
<Body>
</Project>

This xslt file remove both empty element â€œ<TXT>â€,â€<Model>â€
But I want to remove only one <TXT>
Help meâ€¦.please

You can inhibit the output for the empty TXT element by writing an empty template maching it. The rest of the nodes are copied by the less prioritary second template.

Code: Select all


<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

    

    <xsl:template match="TXT[count(node()) = 0]"/>

        

    <xsl:template match="@*|node()">

        <xsl:copy>

            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>

        </xsl:copy>

    </xsl:template>

    

</xsl:stylesheet>
