Re: [basex-talk] How to export a database containing xi:include to multiple files

[Imsieke, Gerrit, le-tex]

Hi Marco,

It didn’t go unanswered. Here’s Alex’s reply: 
https://mailman.uni-konstanz.de/pipermail/basex-talk/2018-May/013147.html
Although his answer doesn’t address the issue of recreating xi:include 
elements from elements with an xml:base attribute.

Hi,
I’m posting again the same question I did some time ago, unfortunately 
unanswered L


I used baseX GUI (9.0.1) to create a database similar to the following 
test file:


http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude;>

     

     



The Result displayed in the baseX gui is correct:

http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude;>

   

   



Now, after editing the values, I would like to export the contents of 
the database to MULTIPLE xml files, recreating the same files and the 
original folders (I see this information is not lost, it is stored in 
the value of xml:base)


However, using the export function available in the baseX GUI, I am able 
to obtain only a SINGLE file containing the Result shown above, where 
the two files have been merged in a single file.


What can I do?

Thank you,
Cheers,

Marco Randazzo

Hi Marco,

the export function in the GUI will, as you have noticed, dump the content of 
the database as XML to a file.

To recreate the file hierarchy with the changed XML data a little bit of XQuery 
is needed.
A small example (just to sketch the idea):

```xquery
let $xml :=
  http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude;>


  
for $data in $xml/data
let $fpath := $data/@xml:base/data()
return file:write($fpath, $data)
```

Cheers,
Alex
