Below is my script file - maybe I missed something in there...


***************************************
@echo off

SET PATH="D:\Schematron"
del schematron_temp.xsl
echo Generating stylesheet from iso_svrl.xsl...
bin\Transform -t %1.sch iso_svrl.xsl >schematron_temp.xsl
echo Processing xml instance against generated stylesheet...
bin\Transform -t %2.xml schematron_temp.xsl >result.html
echo Processing finished
start firefox.exe D:\Schematron\result.html

So I've figured out how to pass arguments in... below are the values in the Custom Tools fields.

Command: D:\Schematron\schematron_script.bat schematron, xmlinstance
Arguments: ${FileName}${FileName}
Initial Directory: D:\Schematron
Path: D:\Schematron


But I'm still not sure how to change these input arguments at runtime. I want to be able to validate various xml instances against various schematrons so I need a way to prompt for the file names every time I run my schematron validator... or maybe a little dialogue that could navigate to and pick the files. Any ideas
