This sounds like a job better done using XQuery. A quick solution would be to install BaseX and use its GUI to load your XML files and then apply the query you need to the loaded docs. If you have to do complex transformations on the things you find you can have the XQuery emit an XML file that you can then apply an XSLT to, rather than trying to implement the transform entirely in XQuery. With XSLT and Saxon you could do something like: <xsl:stylesheet ...> <xsl:template name="run"> <xsl:apply-templates select="collection('docs?select=*.xml')"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="/"> <!-- do stuff to find what you want in each doc --> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Then use the -i flag for Saxon to specify the initial template to run ("run"). The size of the documents shouldn't be a big issue, especially if you can allocate sufficient memory to the processor. You could probably take advantage of new streaming features in XSLT 3 and implemented in the latest Saxon versions. For something like this you might have to see how much virtual memory the process requires by running it and if it fails with an out-of-memory error, give it more until it either runs or you've run out of available real memory.
