So how to obtain the list of .txt files from my directory in XSLT 2?

Thank you both for your helpful suggestions. I especially like yours, 
Andrew (actually based on a suggestion from Michael back in 2006...), as 
it spares me from developing an extension function on its own. Using the 
Java IO lib, however, is fine for me, as I don't plan to move away from 
Saxon anytime in the near future.



With the desired filter for .txt files added, my minimally Java-based 
XSLT 2 solution reads:



xmlns:File="java:java.io.File"



...



<xsl:variable name="txt_files"
  select="for $filename in File:list(File:new($myDir))
            return $filename[matches(., '\.txt$')]"/>


Someone else might perhaps prefer doing the filtering in Java, too.
