Hello, I have a list of XMLElements. I would like to suppress those which have a name different from a specific name for example "YO". Here an example : XMLtest = {XMLElement["YO", {}, 2],XMLElement["BA", {}, 2]} Here my code TRI = DeleteCases[XMLtest, XMLElement[_, _, _] /; XMLElement[_, _, _]<>XMLElement["YO", _, _], Infinity] Consequently, i would like to obtain a list with only the XMLElement which has the name "YO". I'm sorry if my question is quiet simple. I have started using mathematica not a long time ago. Thanks a lot for your help.

I simply my last question. Thank you in advance for your help My question was : May you help me to modify this code in order I can add several conditions on the XMLElements that I want to keep in my XMLObjects. ? I need to keep now too types of XMLElements : XMLELements called "YO" and XMLElements called "TI".

Thank you for your help and code proposal. The way you handle the nested XMLElements is perfect for me because it suppresses the unnecessary levels that I had before. As i wanted in this example only kept the XMLElements called "YO", I added the function "Except" and it works good. XMLtest = Block[{XMLElement}, XMLElement[Except@"YO", , {content_XMLElement}] := content; XMLElement[Except@"YO", , ] := Sequence[]; XMLtest] I need to keep now too types of XMLElements : XMLELements called "YO" and XMLElements called "TI". May you help me to modify this code in order I can add several conditions on the XMLElements that I want to keep in my XMLObjects. ? Thank you for your help.
