Hi Mukul, Thanks a lot for reply.
The solution you gave will work. But in my xml file, the root element of document could SendRequest or ExchangeRequest. So I was thinking that I could define a variable and based upon the value of this variable ( SendRequest or ExchangeRequest) I can copy all the elements. Sorry about that I have not mentioned in my last query. So , if there anything is anything in the XSL which I can use it and convert text to node.

Please feel free to report, if above solution doesn't work, and we could possible suggest something different.

So how I can convert text(string ) to node. Is there any alternate way of doing it ? Regards Ajay My XSLT is <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" > <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:variable name="v1"> <xsl:for-each select="/SendRequest|/ExchangeRequest"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="(local-name()='SendRequest')"> <xsl:value-of select="SendRequest"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="(local-name()='ExchangeRequest')"> <xsl:value-of select="ExchangeRequest"/> </xsl:when> </xsl:choose> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:variable> <SwInt:RequestDescriptor> <xsl:copy-of select="$v1/Request/RequestHeader"/> </SwInt:RequestDescriptor> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> -------------------------- XML is <SendRequest > <Request> <RequestHeader> <Requestor>xyz</Requestor> <Responder>abc</Responder> <RequestType>test</RequestType> </RequestHeader> </Request> </SendRequest> -- Regards, Mukul Gandhi
