XSLFile to select Third tag of XML

Question

I need Solution for below Task

XML

    <core:ReferenceCoded Description="SERTA BUSINESS CARDS"></core:ReferenceCoded>
    <core:ReferenceCoded Description="XM:107008"></core:ReferenceCoded>
    <core:ReferenceCoded Description="J ALMANZA"></core:ReferenceCoded>
    <core:ReferenceCoded Description="847 857 0049"></core:ReferenceCoded>

XSL

<xsl:template match="abc:BaseItemReference/core:ListOfItemReferences/core:ReferenceCoded"> 

                <xsl:element name="TAG_LINE">                      
                            <xsl:value-of  select="@Description" />                 
                </xsl:element> 

      </xsl:template>

The output XML File is

< TAG_LINE>SERTA BUSINESS CARDS</TAG_LINE>
  < TAG_LINE>XM:107008</TAG_LINE>
  < TAG_LINE>J ALMANZA</TAG_LINE>
  < TAG_LINE>847 857 0049</TAG_LINE>

I need output of third Line. Please Suggest on changing the XSL file Code to fetch data in the Format

<TAG_LINE>J ALMANZA</TAG_LINE>

Also, you XML is incomplete - please make your XML **a correctly valid example** of your input. I'm not going to spend time making up what I think you're using if you don't put it in the question. — Matt Hogan-Jones, Apr 20 '17 at 10:51

XML file is too long to be posted here. Is Their any otherway I can give it to you. I am new to the stack interface to post a question — Phanindra, Apr 20 '17 at 10:59
This is XML - you can make a **small example**. Your XPath shows only 2 parent nodes, so **MAKE A SMALL EXAMPLE**. I've guessed at your XML and given you a solution but you could have found this by googling it. It doesn't look like you understand XML or XSLT so please go and spend some time reading about it. — Matt Hogan-Jones, Apr 20 '17 at 11:01

This will get the output you want:

<xsl:template match="abc:BaseItemReference/core:ListOfItemReferences/core:ReferenceCoded[3]">
    <xsl:element name="TAG_LINE">
        <xsl:value-of select="@Description"/>
    </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
