Re: [xsl] unparsed-text-available a file from the current OS directory

[ac <ac@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Hi Gerrit, Michael,

Thanks for the info.

You are right %CD% works fine, you seem to be doing ok with Win-bat 
files! I had to add quotes, as in ... currentdir="%CD%" but it works 
fine and solves this use-case.

As for the symmetry between input and output resolution, the base output 
uri defaults to the OS current dir, while the base input uri defaults to 
the stylesheet dir. which can provide an application with the knowledge 
of where it is executing from and the additional info seems to justify 
the seeming relative asymmetry especially as there are indeed other 
means to get the %CD%.

Thank you,
ac
