usb flash drive contents replaced with a single shortcut

Question

In this xml, I want to replace the <transfom> node with another node <message> but copy the data.

Is it possible with xslt, I have used xslt 2.0 to covert the transform node to message node, but it only works for only one flow node.

<root
    xmlns="http://www.example.com/something">
    <flow>
        <list name="listName"/>
        <router name="router"/>
        <!-- I have some other tags here -->
    </flow>
    <flow>
        <list name="listName"/>
        <console name="console"/>
        <!-- I have some other tags here -->
    </flow>
    <flow>
        <payload name="example"/>
        <transform name="transform">
            <!-- Some DATA here --->
        </transform>
        <!-- I have some other tags here -->
    </flow>
    <flow>
        <payload name="sada"/>
        <transform name="transform1">
            <!-- Some DATA here --->
        </transform>
        <!-- I have some other tags here -->
        <transform name="transform2">
            <!-- Some DATA here --->
        </transform>
    </flow>
</root>

The <transform> nodes are present in two <flow> nodes. Is there any way to write a generic XSLT, to replace the <transform> with <message> node maintaining the position of the nodes and the data inside the nodes.

I have used <xsl:for-each> and <xsl:when> and xpath expressions such as preceding, following. But they only convert <transform name="transform node">, but copies all the other xml nodes as is. Please let me know how to resolve this!

Update

This is the stylesheet I have used for transforming the xml

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <root>
        <xsl:for-each select="flow">
            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="descendant-or-self::transform">
                    <message>
                        <xsl:attribute name="doc:name">
                            <xsl:value-of
                                        select="//transform/@name" />
                        </xsl:attribute>
                        <ee:message>
                            <ee:set-payload>
                                <xsl:value-of select="payload" />
                            </ee:set-payload>
                        </ee:message>
                    </ee:transform>
                </xsl:when>
            </xsl:choose>
        </xsl:for-each>
    </root>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Update 14/04/2019

How to change the namespaces from the <root> tag? I have bunch of namespaces to change when transforming. How to do that?

Solution

I successfully removed it a few days back already. Though I just posted this one right now. Here is how I removed the backdoor from my computer.

Just realized that the question itself is not a very good question. It is something more of a topic for discussion. Thanks for the 'protection' though.

It is turned on and I am using windows. So as far as I know, hidden files in Linux (.foldername) will still be shown in windows. (like the .Trash-0001 folder)

Maybe read up on this - irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/altds

[Admin]

If that is the case, won't it be showing in the Explorer like desktop.ini:virus.exe instead of just desktop.ini? (assuming that desktop.ini contains the virus)

[Admin]

If you have read the post, I already uploaded it and provided the link.

start .\test.txt:note.exe did not work in win 7 it says that there is no program associated to perform the requested action. and indicates an access is denied in the command prompt

Why don't you post your attempt so we can fix it, instead of having to write your code for you from scratch.

[Bhavani Chandra]

@michael.hor257k I have added the stylesheet I did in the question. I'm quite new to xslt, I had experience using xsl:fo for converting xmls to pdf, but not xml to xml, and I'm new to XPath too!

[deathlock]

Damn, so it is a virus? I got this after plugging my flash drivce to a campus computer

Please, avoid providing an answer that is just a link.

[Alejandro]

Sorry but a don't see the benefits from ussing a sequence instead of a node-set, other that transforming a perfectly backward compatible stylesheet into an XSLT 2.0+ only stylesheet.

[Martin Honnen]

Given that the question explicitly mentioned XSLT 2 and I had to use xpath-default-namespace="http://www.example.com/something" anyway I don't see why backwards compatible matters.

[Alejandro]

Sorry, but xpath-default-namespace it's also not needed. I want to emphasize that overwriting the identity rule is a basic transformation design, thus the new xsl:mode instruction was introduced as you had well answered.

[Bhavani Chandra]

@MartinHonnen Can you tell me, how to change the namespaces from the root. In the post I have only give one, but in my xml, I have more than 5 namespaces, along with xsl:schemaLocation.

[Martin Honnen]

@BhavaniChandra, you will need to ask a new, separate question where you provide minimal but complete details of the XML input you have and the transformation result you want, together with the code you have, to demonstrate which issue you have.
