Wow, you are 90% of the way there just with your description of what you want. You even used the words "for each" :-) In filenames_file.xml you could have: <someURIs> <file>file1.xml</file> <file>file2.xml</file> <file>http://foo/file3.xml</file> <file>file://D|/dev/src/file4.xml</file> <file>../../file5.xml</file> </someURIs> Then in a template in your XSL you could have: <xsl:for-each select="document('filenames_file.xml')/someURIs/file/text()"> <xsl:variable name="current_file_root" select="document(string(.))"/> <!-- the next lines are just for example --> <xsl:text>

current file: </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="."/> <xsl:text>
# of elements: </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="count($current_file_root//*)"/> </xsl:for-each> XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
