I need to build a XSLT that can accommodate 3 different XML with different data but same structure.

1st XML is like this:
/loop01
data01
data02

2nd XML:
/loop01
data01
data02
data03
data04

3rd XML:
/loop01
data01
data02
data03
data04
data05

How can I use something similar to
<xsl:value-of select="loop1/*[starts-with(local-name(), '@data0')]">
so it will output data in however many rows that the XML contains.

Thanks.

If you do not have to change the context structure, you can simple create a variable with the URI of the file

<xsl:variable name="loop1" select="document('file:///c:/loop1.xml')"/>

and apply that to your values- $loop1

If at any point the context change is needed, you apply the variable to a group-by:

<xsl:for-each select="$loop1">
<xsl:value-of select="loop1"/>
</xsl:for-each>
