Hi Tim,

Thanks for replying.
= No that is not the output I am looking for.

I just= want to scrape out=C2=A0<nodeBase base=3D"0" /= >
But the way I have written my xsl file it is removing it but it is= also leaving a blank space there. I want my output to look like this:

<?xml version=3D"1.0" en= coding=3D"UTF-8"?>
<testNode>
<nodeInfo>
<nodePeriod nodeTime=3D"600000000"/>
</nodeInfo>
</testNode>

But in actual it is showing like this:

<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D&q= uot;UTF-8"?>
<testNode>= ;
<nodeInfo><= br style=3D"font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"> <nodePeriod = nodeTime=3D"600000000"/>
=C2=A0 = =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2= =A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 <---------------------------- I want = to remove this space :)=C2=A0
</nodeInfo>
</testNode>

Hi Varun,
The whitespace is part of your original xml; the xslt is only preserving th= at whitespace. Do you have any control over the construction of that origin= al xml?

It looks like it has been tidied and whitespace perhaps added. I think you = will get what you want if the original has the newlines removed:
<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"UTF-8&q= uot;?>
<testNode>
<nodeInfo>
<nodePeriod nodeTime=3D"600000000"/><nodeBase base=3D&qu= ot;0" /></nodeInfo>
</testNode>

does that get you what you're looking for? Is the whitespace actu= ally necessary in the original or problematic in the result?
