in thread Splitting xml file into multiple files

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.

    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

    The 3rd example was what I (or the OP) wanted .
