Hi Nicole,

That should certainly be possible, e.g. by using a loop:

for $doc at $p in collection('docs') return file:write('/path/to/' || $p || '/xml', $doc)

Could you forward us a little code snippet that demonstrates what you have tried so far?

Thanks in advance, Christian

Dear all,

please excuse me if this has been covered in the documentation and I just haven’t found it.

I am trying to harvest some information from XML files in a database (all XML files) and create several new XML files with the information. I am aware of the function write:file(path, data).

Is it possible to write several files in one go and via one XQuery? I have tried exchanging „../test.xml“ with „../test[1 to 2000].xml, …“ but, unfortunately, it did not work.

Thank you kindly in advance for your help!

Best, Nicole
