I'm need to write an xsl stylesheet to remove some properties from an xml file. Since I have never used xsl before I have no clue where to start. I've sifted through various xsl tutorials, but most examples I've seen convert xml to html and I'm not doing that.
The stuff I need to convert is below. I need to remove all the <array Items> and set the array property length to 0.
The action class will always = "com.installshield.product.actions.Files" but the ID will be different. There are multiple <actions class= > in the file and I need them all converted.
Any help/examples you can provide would be great.
This is what I need converted:
Code:
<action class="com.installshield.product.actions.Files" id="files-SQLServer">
<displayName>Files-SQLServer</displayName>
<active>true</active>
<buildCategories/>
