Hi Andreas, 

I am not sure if this is the most elegant solution, there are may be better options, but it should work.

To solve this without programming in languages other than XQuery you might try the following:

1) Run BaseX from the command line, with the serializer set to text [2, 3], this omits the XML elements:
$ java -cp basex-6.8-SNAPSHOT.jar org.basex.BaseX -s"method=text" query.xq -o output.txt

2) Make sure a file query.xq exists and has contents similar to those in [1], it basically makes sure each line contains a given set of values

3) The output will then be written to output.txt.

This should hopefully give something similar to the desired result, feel free to ask for more help if needed!

Kind regards
Michael

Hello,

I have got question regarding the export function of Basex. I used BaseX to load the Reuters Corpus Volume 1 which is a corpus of around 800k files, unzipped nealry 3GB in size. Is there any way to export some parts of these files (with xpath), parsed into a Basex database, to csv? I am aware that those kind of questions would probably fall under the support which costs. But if there is any simpler solution for that it would be very nice if you could post it. It would help me a lot!

Best regards,

Andreas
