Large file set problem

[Hradcany]

Code: Select all

Slightly off topic, but related to Oxygen
I have just received 6000 XML files ranging in size from 500 to 10,000 KB. Using the Saxon Extension:

Code: Select all

 <xsl:for-each select="collection('newdocs?select=*.xml')">

        <Item>

        <xsl:apply-templates select="saxon:discard-document(.)"/>

        </Item>

 </xsl:for-each>
 

I attempted to read them in (the extension marks a processed document for garbage collection but does not actually discard it) and ran out of memory. What I would like to do is break the collection into 500 file sets and try to deal with them that way. Is there some way to select and move a specific number of files from one directory to another vial XSLT or any other means (Windows 10, 64 bit)?

Hi,

Sorry about the delay. This is more of a question for the Saxon users list.
There seemed to be a workaround for discarding documents read using the collection function here:

but I'm not sure if this works or not.
