Re: Checking if a file exists

I'm trying to stop the result-document() from writing to the file more than
once. I had moved from the file:exist() because I need to use the saxon-pe to
use it, but oxygen ant transformation only allows the use of the HE edition.So
am I right in thinking there may be ae sequencing/file writing issue here and
the error is triggered because the file hasn't been written yet, but the
result-document knows it is in memory?Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy

'<xsl:value-of > select="doc-available($newFile)"/>'doc-available is not the
same as file:exists() - it will only be trueif the document could be read
successfully with doc() (and of course todettermine this, the XSLT processor
effectively does a doc() behind thescenes, and then probably has to keep it in
memory in case it changedexternally).Also make sure your XSLT didn't create
the document using result-document... You can't write to the same URI more
than once in the sameXSLT run.Without seeing the exact error message it's hard
to be sure.liam-- Liam Quin,B https://www.delightfulcomputing.com/Available
