Re: Creating and using variables ... again ...

Dear Martin (cc xproc-dev),

Thank you for the pointer to <p:directory-list>. This works, and I like
that it's pure XProc:

  <p:directory-list name="filenames" path="modules"/>
  <p:variable name="modules"
    select="(descendant::*/@name => tail()) ! substring-before(., '.xsl') !
substring-after(., 'verb-')">
  </p:variable>
  <p:identity message="{$modules}"/>

tail() gets rid of the entry for the modules directory itself.

Best,

David
