Aahhhh, okay, I understand what your doing from
the snippet of code below. Merci. I must admit,
being a perl programmer first and foremost, I am
somewhat used to the whole 'associative arrays'
being in the language, but, this works for me as
well.
Kudos

Sorry for the (stupid ?) question, however, is there any
provision for associative arrays in XSLT ?
XSLT doesn't do arrays of any sort. It does however do XML which is much
more fun, and allows more interesting structure than an array which is
of necessity rather rectangular.
if you have a map.xml that looks like
<foo>
<bar in="name1" out="MyName"/>
<bar in="int4" out="finalInteger"/>
...
</foo>
Then you can do
<value-of
select="document('map.xml')/foo/bar[(_at_)in=name(current())]/@out"/>
I am wondering if
any has example hash functions already lingering around
their computer.
If the map file is big and you want the system to use a hashed lookup
use a key, map file as above but use
<xsl:key name="map" match="bar" use="@in"/>
<xsl:for-each select="document('map.xml')">
<xsl:value-of select="key('map',name())/@out"/>
</xsl:for-each>
