XSLT 1.0 and 2.0 can read in XML documents using the XSLT function named 'document' http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#document.
XSLT 2.0 also has a function named 'unparsed-text' http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#function-unparsed-text to read in text documents. You can then for instance process/parse the text with regular expressions.

As for logging information to a file, with XSLT 2.0 you can use xsl:result-document http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#creating-result-trees
