Do you have control over the ./inc/env.xml file? If so, my thought would be to skip the <root> and have it say <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <environment>test</environment> (Just easier for humans to read, I think.) Given that env file the following XSLT should do the trick (untested): <xsl:param name="env" select="document('./inv/env.xml')/environment => normalize-space()" as="xs:string"/> <!-- ... --> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$env eq 'test'"> <xsl:text>T</xsl:text> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$env eq 'prod'"/> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:message terminate="yes" select="'I cannot figure out if I am on test or prod, so I am giving up.'"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> If you do not have control over the env.xml file, use document('./inv/env.xml')/root/environment instead. Note that using <xsl:param> rather than <xsl:variable> is not at all necessary, it just allows you to set the environment on any particular run by passing in a parameter. (BTW, I have used a param for this sort of thing in the past, but never an external file like that. From a bash script something like saxon -s:input.xml -xsl:transform.xslt -o:/tmp/output.xml host=$(hostname --short) allows me to test which machine I am running on. Warning, though, the above is from memory, and mine is fading. :-) Also note I did not bother with the <xsl:text></xsl:text> in the 'prod' clause of the <choose>. Seems to me there is no point in asking the XSLT processor to go through the hassle of creating a text node only to find there is nothing in it, so it ends up disappearing, anyway. ________________________________ I have a need to determine what environment Im working on without hardcoding the differences in the large xslt file. I have tried <xsl:variable name="externalDoc" select="document('inc/env.xml')"/> File content <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <root> <environment>test</environment> </root> And in the main xslt file I use, I just want to add a T at the end. <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$externalDoc/environment = 'test'"> <xsl:text>T</xsl:text> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$externalDoc/environment = 'prod'"> <xsl:text></xsl:text> </xsl:when> </xsl:choose> XSL-List info and archive<http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list> EasyUnsubscribe<http://lists.mulberrytech.com/unsub/xsl-list/649132> (by email<>)
