Nele, I think your original approach is correct, but we need to determine why "path" is not returing a value.
Just to get things straight: the snippet you mentioned *does* match file (and outputs "following file was added:"), but just the "./@path" is not resolved; correct? <xsl:template match="file"> <xsl:text>following file was added:</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="./@path"/> </xsl:template> Kind regards, Koen > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 05 January 2004 13:36 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: content aggregation + links to used files > > Hello Nicolas! > Hi everybody! > > Nicolas wrote: > > If the orginal docs aren't XML you should have a look at Chaperon > The original documents are also XML documents. > > My problem is linking an element with the file it originates from. > Is it possible to store the information the directory > generator extracts about my directory structure - maybe as a file? > > Thank you for your response! > Nele. > > > >> Hi all! > >> > >> I want to create an xml document by extracting defined > elements from > >> files conforming to a known format.
