XSLT Transform multiple files from subdirectory

Question

I have created a XSLT file that can transform a single XML file. However, I have several hundred directories with multiple xml files. Is there a way in XSLT to transform all the

Answer 1

Here is probably the simplest example how to process all the xml files in a file system subtree (using the collection() function as implemented in Saxon):

When applied on any XML document (not used, ignored), this transformation applies the identity rule to every XML document contained in any of the *.xml files in the C:/Temp subtree of the file system.

To do more neaningful processing, one needs to override the identity template -- in the inFile mode.

In your specific case I believe you can simply replace:

with

and this applies the desired templates on the nodes selected off the current (document) node.
