How to make xslt handle custom tag (w/ namespace?)

[mike2228]

I have an xslt that correctly processing :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<aaamylist>
<aaasomenode>x</aaasomenode>
<aaasomenode>y</aaasomenode>
<aaasomenode>z</aaasomenode>
</aaamylist>

BUT, the "real" file of data has colons in the tags, like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<aaa:mylist>
<aaa:somenode>x</aaa:somenode>
<aaa:someother>y</aaa:someother>
<aaa:another>z</aaa:another>
</aaa:mylist>

I then want an XSLT like this:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="

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

version="1.0"
><xslutput method="text" /><xsl:template match="//aaa:mylist"><xsl:value-of
select="@aaa:someother" /></xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

How could I get my xslt to properly recognize //aaa:mylist and process N number of records in the xml file? If you can, please include sample code.

Thank you in advance!

If your XML document really looks like that, it is not well formed.

In particular, you are probably omitting that it has a namespace declaration. It would look like [tt]xmlns:aaa="some string"[/tt]
