in thread xml_merge

It seems to work fine here (how often have you heard this? ;--): xml_split produces foo-00.xml, foo-01.xml to foo-99.xml, then foo-100.xml and above. And then xml_merge rebuilds the original file.

Do you have a test case?

    Very often, yes. Well i have to mention that the splitting is used fot a particular section name (split.pl -c SectionName foo.xml). Becuase my twig is v.3.14 i changed the inherited_att to inherit_att (line 102 in split.pl) to conform with the XML::Twing::Elt. Worked fine in small xmls. In a big one had the prob. i took a different section (to reduce the splitted xmls) and then split again in th foo-01 to do foo-01-00 and so on. Merged the foo-01-00 but again had the same lines (fewer this time). Also merge does not reqs the -o flag so, i put the > result.xml. thnks

      my twig is v.3.14

      That's the explanation. You NEED 3.16. First the split on a given level (-l option, or default) will not work, and then merging back will not work because of the way processing instructions were handled (NOT!) when parsing with the twig_roots and twig_print_outside_roots options.

      I am afraid you will have to upgrade ;--)

      3.16 is tested with perl 5.8.5/expat 1.95.7/XML::Parser 2.34/whatever else is useful on linux, perl 5.8.6/expat 1.95.8/ recent version of other modules on Mac OS 10.3, more tests are on the way.

        Please accept my appologies for the spended time on my answer. Updated the Twig to 3.16 and everything work fine ;). I was wondering : Can we XSLT the just splited xmls and then merge them in one (big and transformed) xml? is there any option in Twig or just XSLT the spliteed xmls and then merge them? Thnx in advance
