Running Saxon from the command line (testing with Saxon-HE 9.2.1.2J—yes,
old as heck—on Bash 3.2.57(1)), is there a way to set the value of a global
parameter of an XSLT2 stylesheet to a sequence of strings?
<xsl:param name="MY_ARRAY" as="xs:string*"/>
When attempting to do it like this:
java -jar saxon9he.jar [options] 'MY_ARRAY="one" "two" "three"'
java -jar saxon9he.jar [options] MY_ARRAY='"one" "two" "three"'
Saxon seemingly interprets spaces as literal, and the value of the
parameter becomes one single string
<xsl:message select="count($MY_ARRAY)"/>
→ 1
instead of interpreting them as separators so that the value of the
parameter contains those three.
This could be done as follows, I think.
Pass a parameter to stylesheet as follows,
MY_ARRAY="one;two;three"
(there's only one string parameter. but we use a delimiter between words.
in this example ; is a delimiter)
In the stylesheet, we declare as follows
<xsl:param name="MY_ARRAY" as="xs:string"/>
Then we need to use fn:tokenize on MY_ARRAY.
You may choose a convenient delimiter for your environment.
