Get attribute value by its string name

[Oleg.Ogurok]

Hi there,

In an XSLT stylesheet, I need to get a value of an attribute. The
problem is that I need to generate the name of the attribute on the
fly.
Is it possible to get the value of an attribute knowing its string
represented name?


E.g.


<xsl:attribute name="name">
<xsl:value-of select="concat($FieldPrefix, 'Name')"/>
</xsl:attribute>


The result is the concatenated string, e.g.
<pwm_regardingrulesetid name="MyGivenPrefixName" ...


However, MyGivenPrefixName is an attribute name in the source XML file,

and I need to get its value instead.


I tried the following, which didn't work
<xsl:value-of select="@(concat($FieldPrefix, 'Name'))"/>


Thanks,
-Oleg.

<xsl:value-of select="@(concat($FieldPrefix, 'Name'))"/>

You can't do that; but you can do something like

select="@*[name() = concat($FieldPrefix, 'Name')]"
