Hi Lars, Thanks. xmlDocCopyNode would help me to append DOM trees. And, //*[count(*)=0] this checks for the leaf node.
btw, you were also saying about using the Tree API's we can traverse the tree and search. Could you please let me know, how do I search for whether the following tree structure exists in the DOM tree using TREE API's, "//node//n1" or "//node//n1//n11". I'm new to use the API's available in libxml2. Just learning and using those stuff. Thanks Senthil On 8/23/07, Lars Oppermann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Senthil Nathan wrote: > > 1.
