I am an idiot of the first water! I am calling testXSLT from a perl script
so I have to escape the quotes in the line, DOH! Thank you for your help.

Hi Berin,
This does not work as testXSLT throws up an error with the quotes. I have
tried:
... -PARAM Resort Blackpool - testXSLT runs but Blackpool does not get
passed in
... -PARAM Resort 'Blackpool' - testXSLT runs but Blackpool does not get
passed in
... -PARAM Resort "Blackpool" - testXSLT fails (Missing operator before
'Blackpool')
... -PARAM Resort "'Blackpool'" - testXSLT fails "

Richard,
Not intuitive until you think in the same way as you would in the style
sheet :>.
Try using the command line
... -PARAM Resort "'Blackpool'"
(I think there is some stuff in the archives around this.)
Cheers,
Berin
