Try:

<xsl:template match="device">
  <xsl:copy-of select="param"/>
  <xsl:copy-of select="document('doc2.xml')/device/param"/>
</xsl:template>

If you want to make it symmetric you can read both inputs using the
document() function, or supply both as stylesheet parameters.

Subject: [xsl] Merge two xml files into one ?

 
 
Can I use XSL to merge the contents of two xml files into one ?
 
I have :
File1.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE device SYSTEM "device.dtd">
<device name="Test">
    <param name="CommsStatus" slot="2" />
    <param name="DriverStatus" slot="3" />
    <param name="LastDeviceError" slot="4" />
    <param name="AlarmCount" slot="5" />
    <param name="QuietMode" slot="6" />
</device>
 
File2.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE device SYSTEM "device.dtd">
<device>
    <param name="CommsStatus" slot="5" />
    <param name="DriverStatus" slot="6"  />
    <param name="LastDeviceError" slot="7"  />
    <param name="AlarmCount" slot="8"  />
    <param name="QuietMode" slot="9"  /> </device>
 
 
I want:
 
File3.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE device
  SYSTEM "device.dtd">
<device name="Test">
    <param name="CommsStatus" slot="2" />
    <param name="DriverStatus" slot="3" />
    <param name="LastDeviceError" slot="4" />
    <param name="AlarmCount" slot="5" />
    <param name="QuietMode" slot="6" />
    <param name="CommsStatus" slot="5" />
    <param name="DriverStatus" slot="6"  />
    <param name="LastDeviceError" slot="7"  />
    <param name="AlarmCount" slot="8"  />
    <param name="QuietMode" slot="9"  /> </device>
 
Note that I don't care about the order of slot numbers, the 
contents of the second file just gets added at the end.
Also that I will assume the same dtd and outermost element 
for both files.
 
I've done this in the past by a program that reads both trees 
and just adds the second after the last child of the first 
and write out the result.
This looks to me like something that ought to be possible to 
do by some extremely simple bit of Xsl but I'm not sure what.
 
Appreciatively,
Richard.
