Get attribute value by its string name

[Oleg.Ogurok]

Hi there,

In an XSLT stylesheet, I need to get a value of an attribute. The
problem is that I need to generate the name of the attribute on the
fly.
Is it possible to get the value of an attribute knowing its string
represented name?
E.g.
<xsl:attribut e name="name">
<xsl:value-of select="concat( $FieldPrefix, 'Name')"/>
</xsl:attribute>
The result is the concatenated string, e.g.
<pwm_regardingr ulesetid name="MyGivenPr efixName" ...
However, MyGivenPrefixNa me is an attribute name in the source XML file,

and I need to get its value instead.
I tried the following, which didn't work
<xsl:value-of select="@(conca t($FieldPrefix, 'Name'))"/>
Thanks,
-Oleg.

You can't do that; but you can do something like

select="@*[name() = concat($FieldPr efix, 'Name')]"
