Re: Processing a list of non-xml files in XSLT?

Changing the subject a bit, but what is this syntax 
'?select=(*.dita|*.xml)' as an argument to concat()?

<xsl:variable name="rawditacollectionString"
 \xA0\xA0\xA0\xA0\xA0\xA0\xA0 select="concat($rawsrcPath, '?select=(*.dita|*.xml)')"/>

I have assumed I could not get a list of files in a directory using 
XSLT, and so I've been using a simple Python script to create an XML 
file of filenames I can loop through. But if I can use XSLT it would be 
great. XSLT v2 or v3 are options. I would even consider XQuery.

Thanks,
Mark
