Hi all,

I'm using BaseX 8.3.1 and am trying to access a directory structure like so:

declare namespace t = "http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0";

for $ready in fn:collection("/usr/home/bridger/Documents/foo/bar/?select=*.xml;recurse=yes")/t:TEI

let $title := fn:data($ready/t:teiHeader/t:fileDesc/t:titleStmt/t:title)

return $title

The structure under bar/ looks something like

bar/

001/

001.xml

002/

002.xml

003/

003.xml

...

009/

009.xml

Does BaseX's fn:collection() allow for recursion into a directory structure like this with the /?select syntax options or should I use a combination of functions from the File Module to move through these directories?

Note: I'm not pulling these files into a database, rather I'm just using BaseX as a query processor.

Thanks for your time.

Best,

Bridger
