Subject: RE: document() revisited From: Kay Michael <Michael.Kay@xxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2000 14:14:10 -0000 |
You can do something like: <xsl:template match="mother"> <xsl:for-each select="file"> <xsl:variable name="f" select="document(.)"/> <saxon:output file="{.}"> <xsl:apply-templates select="f"/> </saxon:output> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> It will only overwrite the existing files if the "mother" document is in the current directory, as document() interprets filenames relative to the "mother" document, and saxon:output to the current directory. I wouldn't recommend overwriting anyway, as the process then isn't restartable in the event of a failure. Obviously you can replace saxon:output by its equivalent in xt or Xalan. If overwriting, take especial care with xt because it does lazy evaluation, I don't think it writes the output before reading the input, but with James you never know :-) Mike Kay > -----Original Message----- > From: Beckers, Marc [mailto:Marc.Beckers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 16 February 2000 10:49 > To: 'xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' > Subject: document() revisited > > > I've asked this before and got no replies, > so I'll ask again and try and put the question more simply: > > I have an xml document containing a list of xhtml files, e.g.: > > <mother> > <file>files\overview.html</file> > <file>files\book1\page1.html</file> > <file>files\book1\chap1\page2.html</file> > <file>files\book2\page1.html</file> > <file>files\book2\chap1\page2.html</file> > </mother> > > How can I use XSL to enter each listed file, > manipulate it and copy the result onto itself, > thus retaining the file names and directory structure? > > Grateful for any tips or hints > > Dr. Marc Beckers > Documentation Consultant > Software AG > Uhlandstraße 12 > D-64297 Darmstadt > Phone +49-6151-92-1322 > Fax -1612 > mailto:Marc.Beckers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://www.softwareag.com > > > XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list > XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
