Hi Tom,

Thanks for your reply. I was thinking of exactly the same approach, but was actually looking for a way to get along without the batch file. That's because I am programming something in xsl that lets me translate another transofrmation language into xsl, so I wanted to have a way to generate *everything* automatically in xsl.


Best Regards,

If the downstream stylesheet to apply depends on the result of the
transformation, I would use a processor, like Saxon, that lets me write
multiple output files, and I would use that capability to write a second
file containing the next stylesheet to use - say in a file called
"next.txt"

Then I would use a batch file to create the command line to do the next
transformation, and so the chain that way.

Cheers,

Tom P
