Subject: Scanning the directory. Re: Cross-references From: Paul Tchistopolskii <paul@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 02:07:52 -0700 |
> I want the stylesheer to "scan" a directory for chapters. > > Any suggestions? No way with standard XSLT. Way 1. Simple perl script which generates master.xml scanning the directory. Then stylesheet is invoked, accessing the generated document with document() Variant - write a CGI which will generate the desired xml and access it with document("http://localhost/cgi-bin/scan.cgi") ( I assume that this 'mainstream' XSLT way is to assume that today everybody has http server installed ). Way 2. Write XSLT-processor specific extension function in Java ( the function will scan directory and return XSLT-processor specific node-set ). You may hack ls.java from Ux distribution at http://www.pault.com/Ux/ Way 3. Download Ux, understand it and invoke your stylesheet( say, my.xsl ) in Ux command-line mode, like: ux "ls.class /dir/to/scan | my.xsl" Or use Ux hack: document("/! ls /dir/to/scan/" ) inside my.xsl and invoke ux "my.xsl" Rgds.Paul.
