some additional bits of Knowledge about XPath will lead you forward towards your solution. Especially try to get information about how to figure out "parent nodes" of your target nodes.
One possible algorithm is to not iterate over the different orders(idpurchaseorder), but iterate over the different products(idproduct) and get the parent node(idpurchaseorder) from there.

P. S.: @Mod or @SDohmen: please fix the typo in the xml above: <name>Productname/name>
P. P. S.: I did not know the solution before the question was asked, and - according to Neos request - I will not take the fun and potential for growth from the poster to figuring it out for his-/herself. (The solution is about the same in size as the current shown attempts).
P. P. P. S: +1 Point for SDohmen using the right tool for the right task. ;-)
Thank you for the comment. I edited the text to have the xml correctly displayed.
I think i know what you mean by selecting the subnodes first but i have no clue how to get the rest filled in.
When i change the line to the one below:
i am getting the text as above except switched around so that was not what you mean i guess.
Do you have any more clues what to look for?
i did search around some more and found the link below:
This looks a bit like it but i am not sure if that is the correct direction.
Hi,
Can anyone tell the option to change the file type in unix.
i.e. if a file is in csv(Comma Separating Values) format, it should be changed to xls(ordinary MS-Excel) format. But renaming command is not changing to correct file format.
Thanks in advance,
Milton. (1 Reply)
I am trying to check each line and based on first two digits, the comma needs to be place. I checked in the earlier post where the text is converted to csv with a tab delimited.
Here is the test file that needs to be changed to csv

stag-filter
STAG-FILTER(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation STAG-FILTER(1p)NAME
stag-filter - filters a stag file (xml, itext, sxpr) for nodes of interest
SYNOPSIS
stag-filter person -q name=fred file1.xml
stag-filter person 'sub {shift->get_name =~ /^A*/}' file1.xml
stag-filter -p My::Foo -w sxpr record 'sub{..}' file2
USAGE
stag-filter [-p|parser PARSER] [-w|writer WRITER] NODE -q tag=val FILE
stag-filter [-p|parser PARSER] [-w|writer WRITER] NODE SUB FILE
stag-filter [-p|parser PARSER] [-w|writer WRITER] NODE -f PERLFILE FILE
DESCRIPTION
parsers an input file using the specified parser (which may be a built in stag parser, such as xml) and filters the resulting stag tree
according to a user-supplied subroutine, writing out only the nodes/elements that pass the test.
the parser is event based, so it should be able to handle large files (although if the node you parse is large, it will take up more
memory)
ARGUMENTS
-p|parser FORMAT
FORMAT is one of xml, sxpr or itext, or the name of a perl module
xml assumed as default
-w|writer FORMAT
FORMAT is one of xml, sxpr or itext, or the name of a perl module
-c|count
prints the number of nodes that pass the test
-filterfile|f
a file containing a perl subroutine (in place of the SUB argument)
-q|query TAG1=VAL1 -q|query TAG2=VAL2 ... -q|query TAGN=VALN
filters based on the field TAG
other operators can be used too - eg <, <=, etc
multiple q arguments can be passed in
for more complex operations, pass in your own subroutine, see below
SUB a perl subroutine. this subroutine is evaluated evry time NODE is encountered - the stag object for NODE is passed into the subroutine.
if the subroutine passes, the node will be passed to the writer for display
NODE
the name of the node/element we are filtering on
FILE
the file to be parser. If no parser option is supplied, this is assumed to a be a stag compatible syntax (xml, sxpr or itext);
otherwise you should parse in a parser name or a parser module that throws stag events
