Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have an XSLT question. I still only have a general understanding how XSL works, so I think I'm missing something obvious.

Here's a cut-down sample of the XML:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<CatalogVendorItems count="10892558" offset="0" limit="100">
  <CatalogVendorItem>
    <catalogVendorItemID>4972042</catalogVendorItemID>
    <vendorNumber>AB0001</vendorNumber>
    <description>Fox Racing Demo Short: Black; SM (32" Waist Size)</description>
    <category>Shorts/Bib Shorts</category>
    <CatalogVendor>
      <catalogVendorID>1</catalogVendorID>
      <name>Quality Bicycle Products</name>
      <lastUpdate>2013-12-22T02:31:11-08:00</lastUpdate>
    </CatalogVendor>
  </CatalogVendorItem>

What I need is an XSLT transformation that will return all the children of CatalogVendorItem but not children below that (i.e. catalogVendorID, name, lastUpdate.

I know I could just specify every element I want returned, but there are actually a lot more children of CatalogVendorItem than I copied here. I was hoping for something more generic where I wouldn't have to put every tag I want in the XSLT document.

Ah, I figured it out. I have to use <xsl:copy>. And then exclude the stuff I don't want.

Although this solution isn't completely generic.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I just bought a Sony NEX-5 camera. (It's a mirrorless camera similar to a micro four-thirds camera.)

OK, it's been awhile since I've looked at a camera and wanted to buy it. That. Got the camera juices forming. I love SLR control, but didn't want SLR heft/cost in digital.

Can't afford it. But, good to know of the evolution.

Is there any way to open them on my mac, or did I just do a mitzvah for the library?

I presumed you already tried? Macs will open a lot of windows file formats and can reach most windows CDs. There are utilities out there that others can support you through, but before you do anything else you might try to just open the clip art. (the Mac probly won't run the garbagy search program that comes with the clip art, but the Mac built in search capability is better anyway.

I did try to bring stuff up in Word. Didn't

The only thing that works so far is bringing up a file in openoffice, then saving it as a jpg and importing. Super tedious.

What is the file extension on the individual image files?

Rob, they are .wmf

Rob - Jan 11, 2014 4:40:52 pm PST #23547 of 25496

I can't find any easy way to convert .wmf files on the Mac.

Thanks for the effort, Rob.

It was one of those too good to be true deals. Ah well. Maybe I can find a school that can use the disks.
