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

["Imsieke, Gerrit, le-tex" <gerrit.imsieke@xxxxxxxxx>]

One way to make the current working directory known to the stylesheet is 
to pass it as a parameter:


<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
                version="2.0">
  <xsl:output method="text"/>
  <xsl:param name="currentdir" />
  <xsl:variable name="current-base-uri" select="concat('file:///', 
replace($currentdir, '\\', '/'))" />
  <xsl:template name="main">
    <xsl:sequence select="unparsed-text(concat($current-base-uri, '/', 
'test.txt'))" />
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


Suppose the stylesheet is c:\otherdir\test.xsl and there's a text file 
test.txt with contents 'TEST' in the current working directory.

Then:

C:\Users\gerrit>type test.txt
TEST

C:\Users\gerrit>java net.sf.saxon.Transform -xsl:c:/otherdir/test.xsl 
-it:main currentdir=%CD%
TEST

I'm not sure I fully understood the requirement and whether there are 
more 'canonical' ways to access the CWD in XSLT processors. (And I'm not 
the Windows shell expert.) But I hope it is helpful anyway.
