If the input xml is:
<tag1>
<tag2>
.........  many elements here
</tag2>
<tag3>
<tag4>  5</tag4>
.........  many elements here
</tag3>
<tag3>
<tag4>  >  7 </tag4>
.........  many elements here
</tag3>

..... many tag3 elements here

</tag1>

 And I want to choose the tage3 whose tag4 is 7 then the desired
output is:

<tag1>
<tag2>
.........  many elements here
</tag2>
<tag3>
<tag4>  >  7 </tag4>
.........  many elements here
</tag3>
</tag1>

thanks

Mahmoud
