in reply to xml to xml converter

This is how you can do it in XML::XSH2, a wrapper around XML::LibXML. You can experiment with the code in its xsh shell interactively.
my $out := create "TestCode" ; set $out/TestCode/@version "10.0" ; set $out/TestCode/TestCategory/@name "SmokeTest" ; open file.xml ; cp //Test[starts-with(@name, "CheckType_")][context/value = "XYZ"] into $out/TestCode/TestCategory ; save :f output.xml $out ;

Or maybe, more simply, remove any Test that doesn't match the criteria:

open 1.xml ; delete ( //Test[not(starts-with(@name, "CheckType_"))] | //Test[starts-with(@name, "CheckType_")][not(context/value = +"XYZ")] ) ; save :f 1.out ;

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]
