] I have an xml like...

] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
] <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="arab.xsl"?>
] <IBS>
] &amp;#x0621;&amp;#x0622;&amp;#x0623;&amp;#x0624;&amp;#x0625;&amp;#x0626;&amp;] #x0627;
] </IBS>

That is your problem, what application is producing this XML?

I assume that the intention is that  &amp;#x0621; is a reference to
unicode character hex 622 but it is not, it is just the 8 charcaters
 "&" "#" "x" "0" "6" "2" "1" ";"
You  wouldbe in much better shape if your incoming XML looked like

I have an xml like...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="arab.xsl"?>
<IBS>
&#x0621;&#x0622;&#x0623;&#x0624;&#x0625;&#x0626;&#x0627;
</IBS>

If necessary pass the document through

sed -e "s/&amp;/&/g" before passing to XSLT.


> How do i get arabic data inside the text??? Why is this happening?
You are getting ascii text "&" "#" "x" "0" "6" "2" "1" ";" output
because that is what you are putting in the input.
