Hi,

I would like to get the value of an element from a XML document without getting its children elements. It is possible to do it somehow?

Here it is an example. On the following XML

Code: Select all


<test> text1 <element>element text</element> text2</test>

the next XSL:

Code: Select all


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

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

  <xsl:template match="/test">

    <xsl:apply-templates select="text()"/>

  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="text()">

    <xsl:value-of select="."/>

  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

will give you

Code: Select all


text1  text2

HTH,
George
