Is it possible for xsl/xpath, via the document() function, to read in all
files in a particular directory...
Basicly I have a configuration file, which lists the directories I want to
search in which looks like so:
<config>
<category name="comments" location="/xml/articles/comments"/>
<category name="analysis" location="/xml/articles/analysis"/>
<config>
In each of those directories are a number of XML files which I would like
to process. Up untill now I have been using Perl to read the filesystem
and create an XML index file which I then use in my processing template to
access all the files within that those directories.
It would be really neet If I could just get the XSL template to look at
everyfile in the directory, and apply appropriate processing:
Something like:
<xsl:template match "/">
<xsl:variable name="config" select="document('/global/config.xml') />
<xsl:for-each select="$config/config/category(_at_)location>
<xsl:for-each select="FILEFOUND"/>
... do processing ...
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
where FILEFOUND represents somekind of wildcard which tells the processor
to read all files fvrom the filesystem
thanks in advance
