thanks man for sharing it. now it is coming in single line.
can we add multi childnodes say based on the employee department.

something like this.

xyz
rome
...


wxyz

	<city>rome2</city>
	...
</Emp>

here is the sample file.


xyz
rome


wxyz
rome2.

i am not able to see the xmltags in the clipboard after posting. but you got the requirement right?
Parent node will be and based on department, one employee will have child nodes say name, city, address etc.
then another node will be displayed for another employee who belongs to a different department.

thanks in advance.

Hi,

could you please provide some input on this. if you want i can send you the sample file.

Hi,

Did you get a chance to look into thi?. Are you able to transform the required output? The output should be in parent child node format. e.g. one employee has his details based on the department and then another employee will have his details. something like that..
