Many thanks to all. It is working now as I desired.
I have one thing I would like to understand further
In Colin's response, there is the following

Why inefficient and unnatural?
Thanks

You can do either.
I would change the argument to unparsed-text() to
"file:///c:/comma_delimited.txt". The spec requires a URI here, not a
Windows filename. Some environments might let you get away with the
filename, but it all depends on your configuration.
I would also, as Colin suggests, add name="entry" to your initial template
so you don't have to supply a dummy source file. But keep the match="/" as
well for the time being if you ever want to run it with Altova, which
doesn't yet support entry at a named template.
