RE: multiple input files to one output file

[Linda van den Brink <lvdbrink@xxxxxxx>]

I've used the document() function before, but this time I don't know the
paths and filenames of the documents beforehand. These are thousands of
files in hundreds of different directories. 

I do have XML files that specify the filenames and paths of all the
documents in a specific subdirectory. Could I somehow read such a
filenames-file and call the document function for each of the files listed,
and then extract the information I want from each document? 

Maybe my best option is to use a Perl script or something similar...

XSLT spec under document().  You will need to manage the actual
integration of your list of documents into the XSL script, either
manually, by use of some kind of XML control file, or with a Java
extension function.
