Hello Kevin
Hopefully this will illustrate an example:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration='yes'/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name='mes' select='//ME'/>
<xsl:for-each select="$mes[.='282214'][1]">
<xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::*[1]"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
