Re: document(lang_*.xml)?

| If you have an xml file that has the filenames as nodes then it is easy,
| eg
| 
| <x>
| <f>lang_en.xml</f>
| <f>lang_de.xml</f>
| <f>lang_fr.xml</f>
| </x>
| 
| then 
| <xsl:for-each select="document(x/f)/Language/@id">
| 
| will get all the id attributes from all the files.
| 
| If you don't have such an xml file your system may have an extension to
| access directory listings as xml or just do it from the command line
| 
| 
| 
| ls *.xml | sed -e "s@\(.*xml\)@<f>\1xml</f>@"
| 
| would for example put <f> </f> around the filename of every xml file in
| the current directory given a suitable command line (unix or cygwin bash
| on windows for example)


Ok. This is what I tried:

<snip>
#!/bin/sh
# this skript reads the directory and selects all lang_*.xml files. 
# from them it generates list.xml file to be used by profiler.xsl 
path=/var/www/xslt

cd $path
/bin/echo ""
/bin/echo "Creating backup of previous list.xml file to bu_list.xml file"

# copying the file
cp $path/list.xml $path/bu_list.xml
/bin/echo "Starting lang_list Listing"
/bin/echo ""
/bin/echo "List of languages in the file list.xml:" 
/bin/echo "********************************"

# printing list to terminal
ls lang_*.xml | sed -e "s@\(.*xml\)@<language>\1</language>@" 
/bin/echo "********************************"

# storing data to file
ls lang_*.xml | sed -e "s@\(.*xml\)@<language>\1</language>@" > list.xml
/bin/echo "Stopping lang_list Listing"

# used for developing only, remove when ready
emacs $path/list.xml lang_list
</snip>

The result though is not what was wanted:

<language>lang_en.xml</language>
<language>lang_fi.xml</language>
<language>lang_no.xml</language>
<language>lang_se.xml</language>

So there is no root level element, how do I add it there? 

Desired resulttree:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<LangList>
<language>lang_en.xml</language>
<language>lang_fi.xml</language>
<language>lang_no.xml</language>
<language>lang_se.xml</language>
</LangList>

Cheers,
