Dear all, I am looking for a solution of splitting a xml file after every n person.
Example XML: <PERSONS>
<PERSON><NAME>Fred</NAME><ADDRESS>...</ADDRESS></PERSON>
<PERSON><NAME>Frank</NAME><ADDRESS>...</ADDRESS></PERSON>
<PERSON><NAME>Steve</NAME><ADDRESS>...</ADDRESS></PERSON>
<PERSON><NAME>Martin</NAME><ADDRESS>...</ADDRESS></PERSON>
<PERSON><NAME>Bernd</NAME><ADDRESS>...</ADDRESS></PERSON>
<PERSON><NAME>Max</NAME><ADDRESS>...</ADDRESS></PERSON>
<PERSON><NAME>Jo</NAME><ADDRESS>...</ADDRESS></PERSON>
<PERSON><NAME>Albert</NAME><ADDRESS>...</ADDRESS></PERSON>
</PERSONS> So in this example let say use a new document after 3
<PERSON>-Tags. Can anybody offer an example how a xsl can look like doing
this? Best regards Roman

This forum is for Saxon-specific questions - the best place for general XSLT coding
advice is the xsl-list at mulberrytech.com On way to do this is:
<xsl:for-each-group select="PERSON"
group-adjacent="position()-1 idiv 3">
<xsl:result-document
href="file{current-grouping-key()}.xml"> <xsl:copy-of
select="current-group()"/> </xsl:result-document>
</xsl:for-each-group>
