parse URL to XML variable

[spike4000]

I'm passing a value to an XML program in a URL. What is the syntax in the XML to read the variable from the URL?

[choster]

It would depend on the processor, wouldn't it? In our system they get passed through as <xsl:param>.

That also depends what language you use to read the values in the URL. Are you using PHP, ASP, CGI?

Then, like choster said, you can use XSL to process the value.

Yes, I also thought I should use xsl:param but it's not picking up the value from the URL. Can you tell me the exact syntax for that? My URL looks like:
[some.site...]
I want to choose only the vnums from the xml datagram that match what's in the URL parameter.

Thank you.
