Is there a function that retrieves the system date and time in XPATH
language or XSLT? I need to convert an XML file into a flat file format
and I need to insert a timestamp that the file is created at the end. I
can't seem to find any date or timestamp function. Or if that's not
available, how to run a shell command and capture the output? For example,
let's say I'm running the translation in Windows using Microsoft's XML
parser 3.0. Is there a command to shell out to the DOS prompt and run the
'date' command to get current date and time. Thanks.
