How to cobine/merge XML files?
I have 2 or more files on the same structure in one folder, like this:
Code: Select all
<data-set>
<record>
</data1>
</data2>
</data…>
</record>
</data-set>
I want to merge it together to one file, like this:
Code: Select all
<data-set>
<record>
</data1>
</data2>
</data…>
</record>
<record>
</data1>
</data2>
</data…>
</record>
</data-set>
Is it possible to do this e.g. send a folder containing several XML files and output file will be one XML file named like incoming folder?

If necessary, rename the 2 XML files to make their names consistent. Then merge with a XSL like
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:transform
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="document('file1.xml')" />
<xsl:copy-of select="document('file2.xml')" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>

For a various number of files I should use different scripts? There is no other way?
You wrote something about Javascript...

Apago would be able to write a custom Javascript to combine all XML files in a job folder. Contact us @
