RE: problems with xt:mkdir

 Dave,

No problem, this PR-compliant XSLT SS should work with any XML document,
even against itself.

> type mkdir.xsl

<?xml version='1.0' standalone='no'?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
]>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
		xmlns:xtfile="http://www.jclark.com/xt/java/java.io.File"
		version="1.0"
                xmlns:xt="http://www.jclark.com/xt"
                extension-element-prefixes="xt">

<xsl:param name="filepath" select="'Output/'"/>


<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match='/'>
  <xsl:comment>
    <xsl:value-of select="xtfile:mkdir(xtfile:new(string($filepath)))"/>
  </xsl:comment>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

try:
xt mkdir.xsl mkdir.xsl
and
xt mkdir.xsl mkdir.xsl filepath=anydir

If you are calling xt from a batch file, you may need to use quotation
marks, as in: "filepath=anydir"

I hope that helps,

Richard.

Richard. This is the first time I've seen anyone using this extension.

I wondered if you might put a small, complete example to the list
for the FAQ?


TIA, DaveP
