Thank you for the clarification and the example – I wasn’t aware of this option.

Hi Daniel,

You can include .xsl files via the CREATEFILTER option [1]:

java -jar BaseX.jar -u -c"set createfilter *.x,*.xsl" -ilocalpath update.xquery

Hope this helps,

Christian

Hi,

is the following behaviour a bug or does it need better documentation?

When in a directory of XML files
        one file extension is not .xml but .xsl
then with
        java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseX -u -w -i"localpath/" update.xquery
only .xml-files get updates (not .xsl)

Only with
        java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseX -u -w -i"localpath/file.xsl" update.xquery
the .xsl-file does get an update.

BaseX 11.0

The documentation only says: " Opens the specified XML file, directory with XML files, or database", but not anything about file extensions.
