How about this approach?

<xsl:value-of
select="WAAUXServiceData/*[name()=$test]/BTAccountNumber"/>

Hi Charles,

No this is not the case.  You are assuming generating this path:
WAAUXServiceData action=add/BtAccountNumber

I would like to have this path:
WAAUXServiceData/add/BtAccountNumber

In other words the value of my attribute shall become the value of an
element in the path.

Is that possible?

Many Thanks
Houman

<xsl:value-of select="WAAUXServiceData[@action=$test]/BTAccountNumber"/>

Hi,

<xsl:variable name="test" select="WAAUXServiceData/@action"/>
<xsl:element name="BTAccountNumber">
	<xsl:value-of select="WAAUXServiceData/$test/BTAccountNumber"/>
</xsl:element>


The variable "test" is set to the value of the WAAXServiceData
attribute.
The "value-of select" should return the value with the value of $test in
its path.


I assume this won't be possible, since the parser can only go once
through the document and doesn't see the generated path in the first
roll. Correct?

But if it is possible that would save me a lot of time.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks,
Houman
