Re: [xsl] Referencing Multiple Documents in One Folder -- Repost

Another one, what if i want to assign to a variable all the occurrences of a particular element and cast it as element()+ will i still be able to access the information above and below the particular element, above meaning preceding nodes and below meaning following node? And how do i write that in xsl? Is this a correct way to achieve this?

<xsl:variable name="articles" as="element()+" select="for $file in collection(iri-to-uri('XML files?select=*.xml')) then $file//article"/>

Thanks again,
-- Jeff

Yes i'm using a relative uri, and i found out that i need to escape the string to %HH format for it to work.

Thanks Sir Mike!

If the directory is called "c:\XML files", then you should use

collection('file:///c:/XML%20files')

(It might work without escaping the space as %20, I'm not sure)

If you use a relative URI, then it will be taken as relative to the URI of
the stylesheet.

I'm trying to load a group of xml files that are found in a local sub-directory where the xslt file is located, what i'm doing is:

<xsl:for-each select="collection('XML files')">
    <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>

But i'm getting an invalid URI error. I'm do not know much about URIs and this is the first time that i'm trying to do this loop thru a collection of document thing, i usually make a reference to a single document with can be easily done using the document() function.

What do i need to pass as a parameter of the collection
function? Is
it a URI of an catalog xml file that list all the files i need to loop through? or is it just the URI of the folder that
contains all
the xml files i need?
In Saxon, those are the two options supported by the default collection URI resolver. You can use either approach, but I
think you
wanted the latter. If there's part of the documentation you don't understand, please explain what part.
