I can understand you being unable to follow the documentation, it is cryptic. However, you should at least try to use it even if you don't understand it. Then you can see what you can learn from it. Programming is not all about technical skill and almost nothing runs perfectly on the first go. Sometimes you have to try something just to see what will happen.	[reply]

Can you explain how documentation is cryptic? I skipped reading DESCRIPTION and just tried all the examples in the documentation `EXAMPLES xml_split foo.xml # split at level 1 xml_split -l 2 foo.xml # split at level 2 xml_split -c section foo.xml # a file is generated for each sec +tion element # nested sections are split proper +ly` [download] The 3rd example was what I (or the OP) wanted .

The code should be xml_split. $ cat f.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <TheRoot> <Message> <MyNumber>001</MyNumber> <Registration>222</Registration> <GPS> <Year>2009</Year> </GPS> <LbtSession> <Year>2009</Year> </LbtSession> </Message> <Message> <MyNumber>887</MyNumber> <Registration>333</Registration> <Client>None</Client> <Type>Position</Type> </Message> </TheRoot> $ $ xml_split -vc Message f.xml generating main file f-00.xml generating f-01.xml generating f-02.xml $ cat f-00.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <TheRoot> <?merge subdocs = 0 :f-01.xml?> <?merge subdocs = 0 :f-02.xml?> </TheRoot> $ $ cat f-01.xml <Message> <MyNumber>001</MyNumber> <Registration>222</Registration> <GPS> <Year>2009</Year> </GPS> <LbtSession> <Year>2009</Year> </LbtSession> </Message> $ $ $ cat f-01.xml <Message> <MyNumber>001</MyNumber> <Registration>222</Registration> <GPS> <Year>2009</Year> </GPS> <LbtSession> <Year>2009</Year> </LbtSession> </Message> $ [download] This is my first time using xml_split.
