RE: Copying image files from one directory to another

If you are familiar with Ant you could create an ANT task using XSLT that
copies the files for you. This only works if you have path to the file

<target name="main">
<copy file="filename" todir="destinationDir" />
Etc...
</target>

I've done this in the past and it works like a charm.

Another method is create a custom XSLT function using JAVA if that is your cup
of tea.

Subject:  Copying image files from one directory to another - using xslt

Hi All,

I am a newbie with xslt. Trying to create a xsl file that transforms one
xml to another xml, I have want to do two task using xslt.

1). I want to copy some image files (jpeg, gif etc) from one directory
to another directory.
e.g If I have following element in source xml
<image src="images/img123.jpg"> </image>

And I want to transform this element into
<file type="image" src="resources/images/img123.jpg"> </file>

Xslt makes everything easy in above transformation, but i don't know how
do I copy 'img123.jpg' from 'images' directory to 'resources/images'
directory.

2). In another transformation I'm reading a html files using
unparsed-text() function, now html data can have any number of 'img'
tags. I want to use a loop to check all 'img' tags and want to change
value of src attribute of each img tag - via string manipulation.

Here is a example java code what i want to achieve in xslt.

String htmlData; // varibale htmlData will have html contents of a files

while(htmlData.indexOf("img") != -1){
Do some processing then replace the value of src attribute then take a
substring of html data to remove current img tag.
htmlData = htmlData.substring(htmlData.indexOf("img")+3);
}

Are above two tasks doable in xslt?

Kind regards
