Hello,
I searched the XSLT FAQ and could not find an answer to this. If only
for proof-of-concept (we may find better solutions not needing this),
I am interested in breaking up a very large XML document into multiple
smaller ones, and was wondering if XSLT would be a good solution for
this. For example, if I have the following:
<order>
<widgets>
<widget.../>
<widget.../>
... (about 100000 widgets) ...
</widgets>
</order>
And, as output, I would like about hundred documents of 1000 widgets
each, with the last document having the remainder (possibly not 1000)
widgets:
<order>
<widgets>
<widget../> // widget #1
<widget.../> // widget #1000
</widgets>
</order>
<order>
<widgets>
<widget../> // widget #1001
<widget.../> // widget #2000
</widgets>
</order>
...
Can this be done via XSLT, or would a SAX-based solution be more
appropriate, or?
Thanks,
Glen
