I am trying to write a template to concatenate values from an element based
on another key element. The source document looks like this:
<test>
<rec>
<some_id>1</some_id>
<some_text>text for id 1</some_id>
</rec>
<rec>
<some_id>2</some_id>
<some_text>first line of text for id 2</some_text>
</rec>
<rec>
<some_id>2</some_id>
<some_text>second line of text for id 2</some_text>
</rec>
<rec>
<some_id>2</some_id>
<some_text>nth line of text for id 2</some_text>
</rec>
<rec>
<some_id>3</some_id>
<some_text>text for id 3</some_text>
</rec>
</test>
The number of <rec>s can vary and each ID can have as many lines (thus recs)
of text. In terms of the id element, they are duplicates, but I need to
concatenate the related the element (some_text) and produce one single rec
in the output like this:
<test>
<rec>
<some_id>1</some_id>
<some_text>text for id 1</some_text>
</rec>
<rec>
<some_id>2</some_id>
<some_text>first line of text for id 2 second line of text for id 2 nth
line of text for id 2</some_text>
</rec>
<rec>
<some_id>3</some_id>
<some_text>text for id 3</some_text>
</rec>
</test>
Could anyone help me on this. Thank you very much in advance.
