XSLT 2.0 provides a collection() function. The way that the argument URI
works is left to the implementation. In Saxon you can search a directory
using
collection("dir?select=*.xml;recurse=yes")

Subject: [xsl] Using document() for multiple unknown input files
Hi list,
I am sure that this question was risen in the past, too,
but I couldn't find any useful hint using the archive search.
My use case: I want to search a given string in all XML files
contained
in a given directory.
I don't know the amount and names of those XML files.
I've done such a thing before by generating a directory
listing and then
reading it by unparsed-text()
followed by some analize-string instructions.
Is there any way to provide a directory to the document()
function like
document('./*.xml')?
Or is there a simple and performant way to solve this use
case with pure
XSLT?
Thank you very much for your help!
all the best,
Roman
