Question

I am trying to do a transformation like this.
Consider I am having a XML file :

 <name>
   <a>Andy</a>
   <b>Emma</b>
   <c>John</c>
   <d>Cindy</d>
   <e>May</e>
 </name>

And now I wish to select all elements after <b>Emma</b> element,so the output will be like this:

<new>
  <one>John</one>
  <one>Cindy</one>
  <one>May</one>
<new>

I can only done the condition by manually declare the condition as

[position()>2]

But is there any way to get the position automatically?Rough idea like this:

[position()>Emma] or [position()>b]

Answer 1

What you can do is /name/*[. = 'Emma']/following-sibling::* or /name/b/following-sibling::*.
