Saxon

I am trying to use XSLT and Saxon to parse an XML document containing the name of some XML files. In some cases I then need to open the files and use XSL to parse elements out of those documents. I store the name of the document in a variable called $thisdoc and then access it with document like this document($thisdoc)/path/to/element This works well in most cases except when the file name contains square brackets. For example report[1].xml Internet Explorer often adds these [1], [2] etc to filenames, for example. In this case the XSL always fails with this error FODC0002: Exception thrown by URIResolver: Invalid relative URI {<filename>}: Illegal character in path at index 41: Where the index is the character position in the filename of the opening square bracket. As I understand it square brackets [] do not have to be escaped in XML and since I can't change the actual filenames I am stuck as how to resolve this. Do I have to put something special in my XSL to allow it to cope with text containing square brackets? Thanks Jon
