Hello,

i added another <region> xml element to make sure test was a bit more 
complete.

there are various methods of doing this transformation, but this is a 
good start.

here is the xsl

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="//City">
       <row>
       <country><xsl:value-of select="ancestor::Country/@Name"/></country>
       <region><xsl:value-of select="parent::Region/@Name"/></region>
       <city><xsl:value-of select="@Name"/></city>
   </row>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
--------------------------------------------------------

here is the xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<World>
   <Country Name="Afghanistan">
       <Region Name="Herat">
           <City Name="Herat"></City>
       </Region>
       <City Name="Kabul"></City>
       <City Name="Kandahar"></City>
       <City Name="Mazar-e Sharif"></City>
   </Country>
   <Country Name="Albania">
       <City Name="Shkoder"></City>
       <Region Name="test">
       <City Name="Tirane"></City>
       </Region>
   </Country>
</World>
