xslt question

[badperson]

Hi,

If I have a bunch of tags in an xml file like:

<prefix:group1-element1/>
<prefix:group1-element2/>
<prefix:group1-element3/>
<prefix:group1-element4/>
<prefix:group1-element5/>
<prefix:group1-element6/>




and I want to write a stylesheet to change those tags to this:


<prefix:group2-element1/>
<prefix:group2-element2/>
<prefix:group2-element3/>
<prefix:group2-element4/>
<prefix:group2-element5/>
<prefix:group2-element6/>




do I need to write a template for each tag, element1 thru element6? Or can I write one template that will cover all of them?

(right now I'm thinking perl may be better for this)

pretty sure the answer to this is no.

Well I can't think of a way to do it using xslt. But if it's the only transformation you need sed could do it fairly easily for you.

It would also be easy in perl...I'm on the fence a lot in terms of deciding what to do in perl and what to do in xslt.

This should work:
<xsl:template match="//prefix:*[starts-with(local-name(), 'group1-')]">
<xsl:element name="prefix:group2-{substring-after (local-name(), '-')}">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
