    copied!<p>I have data like this - </p> <pre><code>&lt;item&gt; &lt;name&gt;Bob&lt;/name&gt; &lt;fav_food&gt;pizza&lt;/fav_food&gt; &lt;key&gt;{Salary}&lt;/key&gt; &lt;value&gt;1000&lt;/value&gt; &lt;/item&gt; </code></pre> <p>I want my output to look like this - </p> <pre><code>&lt;item&gt; &lt;name&gt;Bob&lt;/name&gt; &lt;fav_food&gt;pizza&lt;/fav_food&gt; &lt;Salary&gt;1000&lt;/Salary&gt; &lt;/item&gt; </code></pre> <p>Edit, instead of just a value, if I had other tags only one of which is guaranteed to be nonempty like so, what is wrong with my transform? I'm using Sean's XSLT 1.0 transform as a source.</p> <p>Input - </p> <pre><code>&lt;item&gt; &lt;name&gt;Bob&lt;/name&gt; &lt;fav_food&gt;pizza&lt;/fav_food&gt; &lt;key&gt;{Salary}&lt;/key&gt; &lt;value /&gt; &lt;value2&gt;1000&lt;/value2&gt; &lt;value3 /&gt; &lt;/item&gt; </code></pre> <p>Desired output - </p> <pre><code>&lt;item&gt; &lt;name&gt;Bob&lt;/name&gt; &lt;fav_food&gt;pizza&lt;/fav_food&gt; &lt;Salary&gt;1000&lt;/Salary&gt; &lt;/item&gt; </code></pre> <p>My current transform - </p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"&gt; &lt;xsl:output indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes" /&gt; &lt;xsl:strip-space elements="*" /&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="@*|node()"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" /&gt; &lt;/xsl:copy&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="key"&gt; &lt;xsl:element name="{substring-before(substring-after(.,'{'),'}')}"&gt; &lt;xsl:choose&gt; &lt;xsl:when test="value != ''"&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::value" /&gt; &lt;/xsl:when&gt; &lt;xsl:when test="value2 != ''"&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::value2" /&gt; &lt;/xsl:when&gt; &lt;xsl:when test="value3 != ''"&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::value3" /&gt; &lt;/xsl:when&gt; &lt;/xsl:choose&gt; &lt;/xsl:element&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt; </code></pre>
