MY XML structure looks like this:

xmeml/bin/children/bin/children/clip

bin/children is repreated because items exists in a folder (or bin), which exists inside another folder (or bin). Sometimes the path is "bin/children/clip" anbd sometimes it will be "bin/children/bin/children/bin/children/clip"

is there anyway of doing this that will allow me to use one stylesheet for these different variations?

clarification:

is there a way of writing the XSLT so it knows to look inside of any "bin" or "children" tiers so I don't have to continually open my XML and figure out how many folders deep the XSLT needs to be.

I still don't know what's the purpose of the stylesheet. If you only want to select all clip elements, no matter where they are in the document hierarchy, you could use this path expression:

//clip

If that's not what you need, please elaborate.

ok. here's an example of my stylesheet:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>

0

and here are 2 XMLs. Notice that there is one more folder level on number 2.

#1:

?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

9F8005E8-25F1-4178-B133-C04DD9EA6998

add

SCENE_04

3B4C5EFC-CD7A-401C-BF82-33DF06FB1D86

add

0008ZD

#2

?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

F27341D8-63C8-433E-9328-FEA0DE738017

add

ACT_1

7CB39BA5-B35A-4ED6-8B0B-ABFCE7F36C2E

add

*SCENE_X*

I am wondering if I can write something into my XSLT so that the NUMBER of folders becomes irrelevant because at some point the "BIN/CHILDREN" structure yields to "clip", and that will always be the case. the variable is how deep the items are embedded within the folders. Am I making any better sense of this?
