Passing a parameter to .XSL file

[Stu]

I am using libxml2 xsltproc and I am trying to pass a parameter and
have not been successful yet.

I tried a million and one variations of the following command but was
unable to get the value passed in from the command line to be
substituted correctly. Can somebody please point me in the right
directiuon.

Thanks in advance to all who answer this post

command
========
xsltproc.exe --param data_path2, "'e:/tmp/stu/123'" dbmap.xsl
dbmap.xml

My .xsl file looks like this:
===================

<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

<xslaram name="data_path2" select = "'UNDEFINED'"/>

<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="actual_volume[. = '{VAR}' and ../
logical_library/text(
= 'DATA']">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:value-of select="$data_path2"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Data file

<dbmap_entries>
<dbmap_entry>
<logical_library>&amp;TMP</logical_library>

What happens if you use

xsltproc.exe --param data_path2 "'e:/tmp/stu/123'" dbmap.xsl dbmap.xml

without the "," at the end of "data_path2,"? Another concern is
whether the command processor that is being used removes the double
quote marks from the argument value presented to the executable. If
it does not, try

xsltproc.exe --param data_path2 'e:/tmp/stu/123' dbmap.xsl dbmap.xml

I would a) fix the stylesheet (see below) and b) run the command
without comma.

Quoting in Windows environment needs special attention. You might need
some escape characters: \" or \' or something like this,

This appears to work. Thanks all
