Hello,

I am trying to use the xpath_eval editor variable to find and use an attribute value in the naming of output files for a transformation scenario.

I am using these variables/expressions/text ${cfd}/${xpath_eval(doc('${cf}')//manual/@fleet)}.pdf but it doesn't seem to work. Any advice?

Hi Garrett,
So according to our docs:
https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... ables.html

Code: Select all

${cf} - Current file as file path, that is the absolute file path of the currently edited document.

meaning that it expands to a file path like:

Code: Select all

D:\path\to\abc.xml

But the XSLT doc() function needs an URL like path as a parameter like:

Code: Select all

file:/D:/path/to/abc.xml

So I would suggest that instead of ${cf} you use ${currentFileURL}.
Also if that "manual" element is in a namespace use "*:manual" to match it with the xpath.
Regards,
Radu
