intersection of xml files

[zalim30]

hi
I want to find intersection of two xml files. i.e. if the operation should result only those nodes which are common in both files. Any ideas.

Do the nodes have to be the same depth? Do they have to have the same value?

Hi jonty thanx for your reply. Let me show you what I want.
File1.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<object ID ="1" name = "abc" price = "0"/>
<object ID ="2" name = "def" price = "430"/>
<object ID ="3" name = "abc" price = "350"/>
<object ID ="4" name = "def" price = "3000"/>
<object ID ="5" name = "jkl" price = "130"/>
<object ID ="6" name = "abc" price = "230"/>
</root>
****************************************************
File2.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<object ID ="1" name = "abc" price = "0"/>
<object ID ="2" name = "def" price = "430"/>
<object ID ="4" name = "defijk" price = "3000"/>
<object ID ="50" name = "jkl" price = "130"/>
<object ID ="7" name = "abc" price = "2"/>
<object ID ="17" name = "xyz" price = "2"/>
</root>
***********************************************
result.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<object ID ="1" name = "abc" price = "0"/>
<object ID ="2" name = "def" price = "430"/>
</root>

So as you can see, only those elements are retained whose attributes exactly matched in value...
I think that will help explain the problem....
