Remove extra group level with XSLT

I need to remove the extra group level in my generated output. My requirements are that I need to split the data in the element <FFF>

every 10 characters. My code almost works, but it fills in an extra group level <FinalRecord>

. Here is my XML file:

ENTRANCE

<RootParent>
<Data>
    <DetailRecord>
        <AAA>6</AAA>
        <BBB>22</BBB>
        <CCC>000000CC</CCC>
    </DetailRecord>
    <FinalRecord>
        <FFF>This is only for testing. I repeat. This is only for testing</FFF>
    </FinalRecord>
</Data>
</RootParent>

GENERATED OUTPUT

<RootParent>
<Data>
    <DetailRecord>
        <AAA>6</AAA>
        <BBB>22</BBB>
        <CCC>000000CC</CCC>
    </DetailRecord>
    <FinalRecord>
        <FinalRecord>
            <FFF>This is on</FFF>
        </FinalRecord>
        <FinalRecord>
            <FFF>ly for tes</FFF>
        </FinalRecord>
        <FinalRecord>
            <FFF>ting. I re</FFF>
        </FinalRecord>
        <FinalRecord>
            <FFF>peat. This</FFF>
        </FinalRecord>
        <FinalRecord>
            <FFF> is only f</FFF>
        </FinalRecord>
        <FinalRecord>
            <FFF>or testing</FFF>
        </FinalRecord>
        <FinalRecord>
            <FFF>. This is </FFF>
        </FinalRecord>
        <FinalRecord>
            <FFF>only</FFF>
        </FinalRecord>
    </FinalRecord>
</Data>
</RootParent>

EXPECTED OUTPUT

<RootParent>
<Data>
    <DetailRecord>
        <AAA>6</AAA>
        <BBB>22</BBB>
        <CCC>000000CC</CCC>

        <FFF>peat. This</FFF>

        <FFF> is only f</FFF>

MY XSLT CODE

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
    <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="FFF">
    <xsl:analyze-string regex=".{{10}}" select=".">
        <xsl:matching-substring>
            <FinalRecord>
                <FFF>
                    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
                </FFF>
            </FinalRecord>
        </xsl:matching-substring>
        <xsl:non-matching-substring>
            <FinalRecord>
                <FFF>
                    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
                </FFF>
            </FinalRecord>
        </xsl:non-matching-substring>
    </xsl:analyze-string>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Is there something wrong or not in my code? I'm stuck and don't know what to do. I tried insert <xsl:template match="FinalRecord"/>

after <xsl:template match="@*|node()">

to delete the entry <FinalRecord>

in the XML file and it didn't work. I am using XSLT v2.0.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thank.

Note:

The item is FinalRecord

processed by copy-copy-pattern because there is no other matching rule.

I tried insert <xsl:template match="FinalRecord"/>

after <xsl:template match="@*|node()">

to delete entry in XML file and it didn't work.



The deletion is incorrect. You need to process the BUT element, but just not create the same element again.

See this:

<xsl:template match="FinalRecord">
    <xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
