Thanks Ken, Andrew and Mike .
I don't know why I had blinders on regarding the replace function...
thanks,

I want to get the path to the parent directory of the XML used as the

Is this the best way?
<xsl:variable
name="path-tokens"
select="tokenize(document-uri(/), '/')" as="xs:string*"/>
<xsl:variable
name="source-dir-path"
select="string-join(remove($path-tokens, count($path-tokens)),
'/')" as="xs:string"/>
I also unsuccessfully tried to use only one variable:
<xsl:variable
name="source-dir-path-test"
select="string-join(tokenize(document-uri(/), '/')[not(last())],
'/')" as="xs:string"/>
which results in an empty string.
Is there a better way?
How about replacing the last component of the URI with nothing:
select="replace(document-uri(/),'/[^/]*$','')"
I hope this helps.
