Question

New to XSLT/XML transformations and in need of some basic help if possible.

I have an XML file which is similar to

<inputName attribute1="renameUsingThis"> Data </inputName>

I require the output to be

<renameUsingThis attribute1="renameUsingThis"> Data </renameUsingThis>

I’ve seen some examples on here, but can’t tweak to how I need it and don’t know enough to reverse engineer at the moment.

Thanks in advance.

Try this:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="inputName">
        <xsl:element name="{@attribute1}">
            <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
        </xsl:element>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
