Menu
I have a source xml in the following format:
<xml>
<node>
<va-name>
<source area="RSC1985s5c1"/>
</va-name>
<body>
<div >
<heading>heading 1</heading>
</div>
</body>
</node>
<node>
<va-name>
<source area="RSC1985s5c2"/>
</va-name>
<body>
<div >
<heading>heading 2</heading>
</div>
</body>
</node>
<node>
<va-name>
<source area="RSC1985s5c1"/>
</va-name>
<body>
<div >
<heading>heading 3</heading>
</div>
</body>
</node>
<xml>
What i want is to merge the nodes if xml/node/va-name/source[@area] values are equal among differnent xml/node. I have to copy only the xml/node/body and merge them into first node.
Output should be:
<xml>
<node>
<va-name>
<source area="RSC1985s5c1"/>
</va-name>
<body>
<div >
<heading> heading 1 </heading>
</div>
<div >
<heading> heading 3 </heading>
</div>
</body>
</node>
<node>
<va-name>
<source area="RSC1985s5c2"/>
</va-name>
<body>
<div >
<heading>heading 2</heading>
</div>
</body>
</node>
</xml>
In above output, the node 1 and node 3 has a same xml/node/va-name/source[@area] that's why in the output i have combined both and node 2 will be output as it is. If i have more nodes and if any one of them matched (xml/node/va-name/source[@area]) wih node 2 then we will combine it to node 2 and so on...
Appreciate if i can get any help...

A very easy grouping solution in XSLT 2.0:
<xsl:template match="xml">
<xml>
<xsl:for-each-group select="node" group-by="va-name/source/@area">
<node>
<xsl:copy-of select="va-name"/>
<body>
<xsl:copy-of select="current-group()/body/*"/>
</body>
</node>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xml>
</xsl:template>
