Re: [xsl] XPATH to be used in a for-each loop wherein the XPATH is stored in a <xsl:variable>

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rahul,

The only other way to do it is to use two stylesheets. The first generates 
a stylesheet in which the XPath appears as an honest XPath, not a string. 
Then you run this stylesheet over your source document.

Check the FAQ or another online resource on stylesheets to generate 
stylesheets. (Your first stylesheet may be pretty simple: it's just a copy 
of your second stylesheet with a call to include the value of your variable 
as the expression in the relevant spot.) Once you've tried that, ask again 
if you get stuck: there are list readers who have done this.

Regards,
Wendell
