RE: Merging xml files

thanks to mike for the tip the correct xsl if anyone
is interested...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
        version="1.0">
        
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="ctt">
        <ctt>
                <xsl:variable name="docs"
select="document(./doc/@filename)"/>
                <xsl:for-each select="$docs">
                        <xsl:copy-of select="./ctt/ctt_doc"/>
                </xsl:for-each>
        </ctt>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
