RE: RE: [xsl] Combining two XML files into one

[cknell@xxxxxxxxxx]

I was using the first stylesheet to transform kkoch3b.xml. I needed to get access to kkoch3a.xml as well. By using the document() function, I could get access to a document that was not involved in the transform. The command line for the first stylesheet is:

java -jar c:\saxon\saxon.jar kkoch3b.xml kkoch3.xslt

As you can see, there is no reference to kkoch3a.xml on the command line (nor, so far as I can tell, can there be), so I had to retrieve it using the document() function.

The interesting part (to me) of the second stylesheet is that it doesn't matter what XML file you pass to the stylesheet on the command line. It is ignored by the stylesheet. All the processing is directed to the two XML files whose names are passed as parameters to the two instances of the document() function.

Thank you for the quick response and fixing my mistakes. Why did you only
use kkoch3a in the first stylesheet? 

Actually I do not need sorting, but thank you for providing it anyway.

Thank you very much - I am testing it right now,
Karl
