Dear Friends, Thank you for your immediate response.
I should have explained issue in more detail. The (spaces in filename) issue arise when I pass parameters to xslt using libxslt's *xsltApplyStylesheet* function. And, the issue is, the *document*function then fails to load this file. If I directly hardcode the file path in XSLT then it works fine. for e.g. <xsl:variable name="path" select="'C:/file with space in name.xml'" /> <xsl:copy-of select="document($path)"/> , note, no %20 in file name. I am using MS-Visual studio XSLT debugger to degub this XSLT. Now, if I pass same path 'C:/file with space in name.xml' from libxslt's * xsltApplyStylesheet* function then it doesn't work. But, now I have changed my code to replace all spaces in file name by %20, before passing it to *xsltApplyStylesheet* function. *And it works fine now. The issue is fixed*. Thanks to Chuck Jungmann :) . You gave me the direction. Thanks all.
