Re: [xml] Xml Question
Oh -- if smaller file here is some cheap code that works fine. You will
have to create a new document for each smaller pieces and then copy the
pieces over like so:
for (cur=fromwrk->cur;cur;cur=cur->next) {
tmp = xmlCopyNode(cur,1);
xmlAddChild(towrk->cur,tmp);
}
>From being you original file and cur being your current little file.

Dear Ashjan,
If it was me I'd do it the cheap way and not use the parser. Get the file
and then read through it with your favorite language and look for starting
tags you want moved, then scan until you hit the ending tag, write that out.
Rinse and repeat. You can use the parser on each piece you write out.
It is surely possible to do it in both ways described and I know of other
that works on small files. But this is a LOT easier.

If your input files are a few hundred megabytes or less, start with the XSLT
identity transform and add empty templates to match what you want to delete.
If your input is over a gigabyte (say) or you do lots of different subsets
of the same document, you may find XQuery update works better for you, with
a databaase (e.g. BaseX or eXistb).

Re: [xml] Xml Question
Your answer is spot on. I don't know if he has markup and CDATA or if his files are large. If none of those are true, cheap is good :-) If it is a gig file with CDATA and markup, cheap would be bad.

Make sure to handle markup in comments and CDATA sections properly,and to process external files included with XInclude or by entities defined in the DTD. Working with XML at the text level can be reasonably safe if you know the input files well, and yes, i sometimes do it too, but cheap isn't the same as good :) Liam -- Liam Quin, https://www.delightfulcomputing.com/ Upcoming course: CSS for XML People, Rockville MD, August 2019 See https://www.delightfulcomputing.com/ ___ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ xml@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
