Filtering an XML doc with xsl:copy 1

[jf73]

Hi!,
I have this sample xml document :
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="TestFile.xsl" type="text/xsl" ?>
<CustList>
<Custb x="x">
<b>Test</b>
<Custa>z</Custa>
</Custb>
<z x="x">
<Custa>z</Custa>
</z>
</CustList>

I need to create a new document containing only element with a name like "Cust*". I think the best way to do this is with xml:copy but it does'nt seem to work. The result of this transformation should be :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<CustList>
<Custb x="x">
<Custa>z</Custa>
</Custb>
</CustList>

Do you have any idea ?
Thanks!
Jeff

What happens with the Custa under z? What do you mean by that statement?

What have you tried so far?

This is what I've tried. I'm new to XML and XSLT but it seems that the "*[contains(name(), 'Cust')]" does not work because it returns the complete xml file content without filtering.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="

http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

version="1.0">
<xslutput method="xml" version="1.0" indent="yes" encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*[contains(name(), 'Cust')]"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I can see roughly what you mean. You have to get it done with these three templates or any variant of them. (I won't point out the differences, you discover them for yourself.)
[tt]
<xsl:template match="*">
[blue]<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*[contains(name(), 'Cust')]|@*|text()" />
</xsl:copy>[/blue]
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/">
[blue]<xsl:apply-templates select="*[contains(name(), 'Cust')]" />[/blue]
</xsl:template>
[blue]<xsl:template match="@*|text()">
<xsl:copy-of select="." />
</xsl:template>[/blue]
