XSLT : Exclude one NODE in Template

[Ganesh Muthuvelu]

Hello all,
I want to exclude one node (element alone) but copy all of the other
elements. This is the XSLT I have. I want to exclude the "alias" element
alone but it does not work..

Can somebody help?

<xsl:copy-of select="groupId "/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="service InstanceProfile "/>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="serviceI nstanceProfile" >
<serviceInstanc eProfile>
<xsl:copy-of select = "child::*[text()!='alias']"/>
</serviceInstance Profile>
</xsl:template>

If you have elements named alias then simply do
<xsl:template match="alias" />
and use the identity transformation template.

If you have an element with the text content 'alias' then do
<xsl:template match="*[text() = 'alias']" />
and use the identity transformation template. Depending on white space
you might want
<xsl:template match="*[normalize-space(text()) = 'alias']" />
