Antw: Re: join two files - plz help

Hi,
 
thank you very much for your reply, when i try to compile this source,
i get no results (blank page with "<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>" in the first line. But no syntax errors. The
problem is, that i'm new to xslt. In general i always think "read the
[expletive deleted] manual",  but this time there are only dead-ends from my point
of view!
Whats's wrong here?

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 
<xsl:template match="/SymCLI_ML/Symmetrix/Device">
<xsl:for-each
select="document('lspv_lirp33.xml')/Front_End/Port[@pd_name=current()/@pd_name]/@aix_vg">
 
 <tr>
        <td><xsl:value-of select="@dev_name"/></td>
        <td><xsl:value-of select="Front_End/Port/@pd_name"/></td>
        <td><xsl:value-of select="Front_End/Port/@aix_vg"/></td>
       </tr>
 
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
 

ciao & thanks for every help

You need to use the document function. See:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#function-document 

What you'll want is something like this:

document("foo.xml")//Port[@pd_name=current()/@pd_name]/@aix_vg
