If you are familiar with Ant you could create an ANT task using XSLT that
copies the files for you. This only works if you have path to the file

<target name="main">
<copy file="filename" todir="destinationDir" />
Etc...
</target>

I've done this in the past and it works like a charm.

Another method is create a custom XSLT function using JAVA if that is your cup
of tea.

Subject: [xsl] Copying image files from one directory to another - using xslt

Hi All,

I am a newbie with xslt. Trying to create a xsl file that transforms one
xml to another xml, I have want to do two task using xslt.

1). I want to copy some image files (jpeg, gif etc) from one directory
to another directory.
e.g If I have following element in source xml
<image src="images/img123.jpg"> </image>

And I want to transform this element into
<file type="image" src="resources/images/img123.jpg"> </file>

Xslt makes everything easy in above transformation, but i don't know how
do I copy 'img123.jpg' from 'images' directory to 'resources/images'
directory.

2). In another transformation I'm reading a html files using
unparsed-text() function, now html data can have any number of 'img'
tags. I want to use a loop to check all 'img' tags and want to change
value of src attribute of each img tag - via string manipulation.

Here is a example java code what i want to achieve in xslt.

String htmlData; // varibale htmlData will have html contents of a files

while(htmlData.indexOf("img") != -1){
Do some processing then replace the value of src attribute then take a
substring of html data to remove current img tag.
htmlData = htmlData.substring(htmlData.indexOf("img")+3);
}

Are above two tasks doable in xslt?

Kind regards
