Hi,
The following should work:
<xsl:variable name="CatalogNumber" select=".">
<StampName>
<xsl:value-of
select="document('numbers.xml')/PATH/number[@number=$CatalogNumber]/@name"/>
</StampName>
For "PATH" insert the path to the <number> elements in numbers.xml

I have two files. In the main file is an element
<CatalogNumber>14</CatalogNumber>
The second file contains an unordered sequence of elements like
<Number number="14" name="ceskC= krumlov"></Number>
I want to add an element to the main file
<StampName>ceskC= krumlov</StampName
by selecting the name attribute associated with the number attribute
of the <Number> element in the second file that matches the current
value of <CatalogNumber> in the main file.
I tried the below template in my stylesheet but it gives me a set of
all the number attributes in the second file in the variable
bmatching-numberb. I have no clue how to proceed. I thought about
putting the second file in order, then selecting the name attributes
into my variable, then indexing to, in this instance, the 14th name
attribute in the returned set, but that seems a bit like brute force.
Clearly I have two problems:
(1) I do not know how to select the matching Number element;
(2) I do not know how select its name attribute
Help or hints would be greatly appreciated.

My current template:
<xsl:variable name="names"
select="document('numbers.xml')"></xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="CatalogNumber">
<xsl:copy-of select="."></xsl:copy-of>
<xsl:variable name="matching-number"
select="$names/List/Number/@number[.]"></xsl:variable>
<xsl:element name="StampName">
<!--<xsl:value-of select=""></xsl:value-of>b>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
