Thanks for the reply. I'm actually working on the "create if doesn't
exist" requirement as this is really the most necessary part!
I'll post whatever I come up with for you (and others) to review should
you find a use for this.

In this stylesheet I have not implemented your requirement
need to make sure that both "root" and "pictures" exist and if they
don't, create them first.
If you really need this to be done, I can try that. But it may take
some time..

Given:
<myxmlfile>
<folder name="root">
<folder name="documents">
<document name="passwords">
123456
</document>
</folder>
<folder name="pictures">
<folder name="family" />
</folder>
</folder>
</myxmlfile>
parameter: folder_name = "friends"
parameter: path2folder = root/pictures
How can I create a new folder element named "friends" in the pictures
element?
Keep in mind that I need to make sure that both "root" and "pictures"
exist and if they don't, create them first.
Also, I use a "tokenizer" to split the path in the path2folder
parameter to access the individual values, but it sure would be great
if I could use something like an eval() function to go right to the
folder...
I'm sure I can figure this out myself, but thought I'd check with the
list before losing too much time reinventing the wheel.
Thanks in advance.
