Sorry about this:
What I am doing is this:
<xsl:variable name="filename">
             <xsl:value-of select="//filename"/>
         </xsl:variable>
That's a long-winded and expensive way of doing

<xsl:variable name="filename" select="//filename"/>

Where the //filename points to:
<filename>RES_FÆ_20110924_084810</filename>

Error I am getting is:
2012-01-16 09:55:57: An Exception has occured: 
'file:///j:/NTB-Normalizer/xml/Travresultater/RES_Ø_20101015_095157.xml' is not

I suspect you are getting the error when you use the variable, not when you declare it. I imagine you are using the variable as an argument to the doc() or document() function. The argument to this is expected to be a valid URI, and non-ASCII characters are not valid in URIs: try calling encode-for-uri() first:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#func-encode-for-uri

(The spec allows implementations of doc() to be liberal in what they accept, but it doesn't require it.)

It does not create this error when I am parsing/converting files that does not 
have Nordic characters.

As said in the initial mail: I can do this quick'n dirty by creating my own 
filename, but I kind of does not want to do that as I (or someone else) might 
have to get in touch with the originator of the file and therefor it is a good 
thing to tell them which file we have problems with.

Hi,

I am getting an error when transforming a file where I am storing a filenam= e in a 
variable. The filename sometimes contains letters that are quite com= mon in Nordic 
names (&aelig; and so on).
One solution is that I create new filenames, but I don't really want to do = 
that - yet). So I am wondering: How do I work around this issue?


Standard answer to this kind of question: there's no point telling us you're 
getting an error without telling us what the error is.

You need to say exactly what you did and exactly how it failed.

If the issue concerns non-ASCII filenames then it may also be dependent on your 
operating system.
