So, the following string "My >name is |/Doc/FirstName|.", would translate into the output stylesheet as: > >My name is <xsl:value-of select="/Doc/FirstName"/>. ...So you do have control over the source xml? Well in that case...... Firstly, why use | when you can use xml?? "My name is |/Doc/FirstName|." should become: "My name is <path>/Doc/FirstName</path>." And then you could use namespace-alias and the-power-of-xml to get the result you want: For this xml: <root> <node>My name is <path>/Doc/FirstName</path>.</node> </root> And this stylesheet: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xslt="some_made_up_namespace" version="1.0"> <xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="xslt" result-prefix="xsl"/> <xsl:template match="//node"> <xsl:variable name="path" select="path"/> <xslt:stylesheet> <xslt:value-of select="{$path}"/> </xslt:stylesheet> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> You get this result: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:value-of select="/Doc/FirstName" /> </xsl:stylesheet> Im sure this is what you need, but I dont want to second guess your reqs - let us know if this is what you want. cheers andrew --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
