Mike,

Can you just confirm the syntax for using collection() to process a
directory of xml files?

I'm using:

collection('file:///c:/test?select=*.xml')

But this gives the error:

  FODC0005: java.io.FileNotFoundException: c:\test\xml?select=*.xml (The
filename, directory
  name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)
Error on line 21 of file:/C:\Test\XSL\test.xsl:
  Failed to load collection catalogue file:///c:/test/xml?select=*.xml
Transformation failed: Run-time errors were reported

Once that problem is solved, how do you go about getting a document out of
it?

Something like for $i in collection(...) return doc($i) ?

Thanks
Andrew
