Delete elements via XSL

[JDS]

Hi all,I'm new to XSL and would like to know whether it is possible to remove certain data from an XML via XSL.I have the following structure:

<bookExtract><listingContent advertName="A" bgColor="" boxColor="" boxType="" code="10 00 123456 x     KM" id="497590000"><span></span></listingContent><listingContent advertName="Be" bgColor="" boxColor="" boxType="" code="10 00 123456 x     KM" id="497610000"><span></span></listingContent><listingContent advertName="DB" bgColor="" boxColor="" boxType="" code="10 00 123456 x     RL" id="497630000"><span></span></listingContent></bookExtract>

I would like to get rid of all

<listingContent>...</listingContent>

where de code from <listingContent> contains KM"Is it possible to achieve it via XSL?If so how can this then be done?Thanks for the effort,John

<xsl:stylesheet  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"  version="1.0">  <xsl:template match="@* | node()">	 <xsl:copy>		<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>	 </xsl:copy>  </xsl:template>  <xsl:template match="listingContent[contains(@code, 'KM')]"/></xsl:stylesheet>

copies everything but those 'listingContent' elements where the 'code' attribute value contains 'KM'.

Thank you Martin for your quick answer.On the xml I added in the topic it worked but the actual XML has a bigger structure. Perhaps I should have added this one to start with. When I run your script to this, it doesn't seem to work anymore.Could you take a look at the following code? Now this is the complete structure.Thanks again.

<bookExtract> <sectionList><classifiedSection><classificationList><classification><name>A</name><contentList><listingContent advertName="A" bgColor="" boxColor="" boxType="" code="10 00 123456 x     KM" id="497590000"><span></span></listingContent><listingContent advertName="Be" bgColor="" boxColor="" boxType="" code="10 00 123456 x     KM" id="497610000"><span></span></listingContent><listingContent advertName="DB" bgColor="" boxColor="" boxType="" code="10 00 123456 x     RL" id="497630000"><span></span></listingContent></contentList></classification><name>B</name><classification><contentList><listingContent advertName="A" bgColor="" boxColor="" boxType="" code="10 00 678654 x     KM" id="497590000"><span></span></listingContent><listingContent advertName="Be" bgColor="" boxColor="" boxType="" code="10 00 678654 x     KM" id="497610000"><span></span></listingContent><listingContent advertName="DB" bgColor="" boxColor="" boxType="" code="10 00 678654 x     RL" id="497630000"><span></span></listingContent></contentList></classification></classificfationList></classifiedSection></sectionList></bookExtract>

Martin,I just found out that there was a reference to an xsd file, and that's the reason why It didn't work.Thanks again.Best Regards,John
