Recursio and filepathstripping...

Hi all...

I'm having filepath in one attribute (e.g.
source="result\test\tomorrow\now.txt" or source="test\file.gif") and I need
that "now" or "file" infrormation from that source attribute.

So I tryed to do thos recursive (because I cannot know how long (or deep)
the path is):

cut ---------------8<--------------8<----------

  <xsl:template name="attributes">  <!-- This is called from some element,
where I need that function-->
    <xsl:variable name="identifiir" > <!-- I try to get that filename to
variable so that I can use it later -->
      <xsl:call-template name="identifierrip">  <!-- sorry about my funny
names.. Identifier Rip :) -->
        <xsl:with-param name="source" select="@source" /> <!-- give ripper
path where identifier is located-->
      </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:attribute name="file"><xsl:value-of select="$identifiir"
/></xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:template>


  <xsl:template name="identifierrip">
    <xsl:param name="source" />
    <xsl:variable name="sourcevariable" select="substring-before($source,
'.')" /> <!-- file extension is cutted out --> 
 
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="contains($sourcevariable, '/')">
          <xsl:variable name="sourcevariable2"
select="substring-after($sourcevariable, '/')" />
          <xsl:call-template name="identifierrip"> <!-- there I try to do
'ripping' again -->
             <xsl:with-param name="source" select="$sourcevariable2" /> 
          </xsl:call-template>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:when test="contains($sourcevariable, '\')">
          <xsl:variable name="sourcevariable2"
select="substring-after($sourcevariable, '\')" />
          <xsl:call-template name="identifierrip">
             <xsl:with-param name="source" select="$sourcevariable2" /> 
          </xsl:call-template>
        </xsl:when>
        
        <xsl:otherwise>
          <xsl:variable name="dino" select="substring-before($source, 'x')"
/>
          <xsl:value-of select="$dino" />
        </xsl:otherwise> 
      </xsl:choose>
    
  </xsl:template>

cut ---------------8<--------------8<----------

Why this doesn't work ?

>From "result\test\tomorrow\now.txt" I get "test\tomorrow\now"  ???

It works half way, but this recursion thing doesn't give any life signs.

How should I do this right ?

Thanks in advance.
