Try file:///test...
I have found that, for local files (on the same drive), I need to use URIs
of the following form: file:///path/from/root/to/file.xml
(You get three / characters because the protocol needs two and the third
one specifies the root of the current drive.)
For remote files (not on the same drive), I use URIs of the following
form: file:////server-name/path/from/root/to/file.xml
(Yes, that's four / characters, two for the protocol and two to indicate a
server.)
Relative paths are a bit trickier but possible.
That's not what you asked, but, since I have already fought that
battle....
I also look forward to seeing more about using collection() to get files.
I have written my own extension function for Saxon 8.* to get file names
from a directory, but I can certainly stand to know another way to do it.

RE: [xsl] Using Saxon 8.5 and collection() to process a directory of XML
files
Mike,
Can you just confirm the syntax for using collection() to process a
directory of xml files?
I'm using:
collection('file:///c:/test?select=*.xml')
But this gives the error:
FODC0005: java.io.FileNotFoundException: c:\test\xml?select=*.xml (The
filename, directory
name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)
Error on line 21 of file:/C:\Test\XSL\test.xsl:
Failed to load collection catalogue file:///c:/test/xml?select=*.xml
Transformation failed: Run-time errors were reported
Once that problem is solved, how do you go about getting a document out of
it?
Something like for $i in collection(...) return doc($i) ?
Thanks
Andrew
