Thanks for the quick replies,
The reason why I wanted to pass in a array is because I want to select a
specific data from the XML file.
<Data>
<Foo name="Foo1">
<bar name="bar1">stuff</bar>
<bar name="bar2">stuff</bar>
</Foo>
<Foo name="Foo2">
<bar name="bar1">stuff</bar>
<bar name="bar2">stuff</bar>
</Foo>
<Foo name="Foo3">
<bar name="bar1">stuff</bar>
<bar name="bar2">stuff</bar>
</Foo>
</Data>
I then want to be able to specify what I select from the XML document. I.e I
may only want the following data
Foo1("bar1")
Foo3("bar1", "bar2")
I hope the above makes sense.
Thanks once again for the advice.
Cheers
Mike

Subject: Re: [xsl] Passing arrays as parameters
A slightly less expensive way to do this is to pass the array in as a
string of XML-like data and then serialize it into a node-set using the
node-set function particular to your processor. Then you can process it
just like any other node-set.
Best of luck!
<M:D/>
If you passed in a string with XML syntax you'd want a parse extension
function not a node-set() (ie the opposite of serialization) Saxon for
example offers such a function.
On the other hand, if called from an API ratherthan from a command line,
most XSLT engines will allow you to pass in a node set as a parameter so
no extension function should be needed.
