I have to extract information from a collection of 8000 individual xml
files. It has been a couple of years since I have used xslt, so while
not a novice, I am very rusty.  Where 'docs' is a sub-directory of the
directory 'British Library' where my xslt is located and contains a set
of files of the format *.xml, I wrote this xslt 2.0 stylesheet:

   <xsl:template match="/">
       <xsl:variable name="library" select="collection('docs/*.xml')"/>

</xsl:template>

and got the error in Oxygen:
System ID: P:\British Library\read.xsl
Severity: fatal
Description: FODC0002: The file or directory
file:/P:/British%20Library/docs/*.xml does not exist


I think you want

collection('docs?select=*.xml')
