Hi,

Using Saxon 9, Windows 7 and Solaris.

My XSLT script needs to generate a bunch of XML files with various filenames. For one reason or another some of these filename need to include the '#' character.

<xsl:result-document> is throwing an exception 'Invalid URI syntax: URI has a fragment component'.

I've looked at the various attributes for result-document, but I don't see any that will allow me to name a file using the '#' character.

Is this even possible?

Thanks,

xsl:result-document expects a URI, and as you say, # is not valid (or has special meaning) in a URI. You could try escaping it as %23, but somehow I suspect you would end up with a filename containing %23 rather than one containing #.

In Saxon you can register an OutputURIResolver which is called to process the URI supplied to xsl:result-document. For example you could subclass the StandardOutputResolver, overriding its makeOutputFile() method to unescape %23 (and optionally other escape sequences) found in the URI.
