Its going to make your life easier if you have an input string:
"scott,john," (i.e. ending on a comma).
This should do the job fairly efficiently.
=================================
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://,,,">
<xsl:parameter name="searchList"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ROOT">
<ROOT><xsl:apply-templates /></ROOT>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="employee">
<xsl:if test="contains($searchList, concat(emp/text(), ','))">
<employee group="{@group}">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</employee>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="wing">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="emp">
<xsl:if test="contains($searchList, concat(text(), ','))">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
=================================
Hmmm. There is probably a more elegant way using xsl:copy-of, but I
can't think of it offhand...
[I haven't even checked this as being wellformed, but it should work]
