RE: [xsl] multiple source files map to multiple target files

Thanks Mike, this also helps one of my present similar issue(Many -To-
Many conversion)
How good is the MSXSL transformer with extensions to combine multiple
XML files into one XML file by XSLT?

Any existing MSXSL/nXLT extensions available?

Regards,
Sreeni

Subject: RE: [xsl] multiple source files map to multiple target files

I want to copy (map?) specific information from a number of source 
files to a number of target files. I do have the names of the old 
files and the matching names of the new files in a dBase. Is there a 
way that I can do this with xsl without having to to this manually?

I would normally suggest here that your XSLT code should transform one
input file to one output file, and that you should write an application
around this which invokes the transformation once for each pair of
files. But it you want to do this within Stylus, your options are more
limited. You can do a fair bit in Saxon using the collection() function
which returns a set of input documents, for example

xsl:for-each select="collection(concat($dir,
'?select=*.xml;recurse=yes'))"

Platform - Windows XP, program - Stylus Studio - Is this enough info?
Thanks
