Several ways of doing it; a) Scripting language : create array of input files, read them in, locate all the <record> elements (and content), and dump them all out in a file containing the surrounding <records> element. b) XSLT : <xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="a" select="document('a.xml')/records" />
<xsl:variable name="b" select="document('b.xml')/records" />
<xsl:variable name="c" select="document('c.xml')/records" />
<records>
<xsl:copy-of select="$a/text()|$a/*" />
<xsl:copy-of select="$b/text()|$b/*" />
<xsl:copy-of select="$c/text()|$c/*" />
</records>
</xsl:template>or a more dyunamic version with an XML input, or XSLT 2.0 with embedded XML. If you need some special sort-order you need to tweakit a bit. c) with DTD's. And I'm sure there's more.
