then XSLT is not your language of choice. You need a language tha allows
updaing of in place XML trees.

I don't see why the OP doesn't simply do (apologies for the archaic shell language):


copy file.xml input.xml
xslt -in input.xml -xsl stylesheet.xsl -out file.xml
del input.xml

though if he's smart he's also going to back himself up....

In any case, nowhere in this thread today has it been explained why the output needs to be the same *file* as the input, as opposed to merely another file with the same *name* as the input file. (Which it would be in any case, no matter how he did it.)

Cheers,
Wendell
