Hi, Executing XPath over a set of files it is already possible using the Saxon 9 collection function. For example collection('.?select=*.xsd;on-error=ignore')/* will return the root elements from all the *.xsd files from the directory holding the current file and will ignore errors if some *.xsd file is not wellformed XML. Along with the XPath search field in the toolbar oXygen provides also an XPath Builder View that gives a better layout for writing these XPath queries and also holds a history with the last executed XPath queries. oXygen allows also to set a CollectionURIResolver for Saxon (in Options->Preferences -- XML / XSLT-FO-XQuery / XSLT / Saxon / Saxon-B/SA / Advanced) so basically one can implement support for special collections as the results returned by the collection function. Checking this - it works only for XSLT and XQuery execution but not for XPath 2.0. Adding in oXygen support for some default collections as Florent suggested looks like a nice idea and we recorded it on our issues tracking system. For more information about using the Saxon collection function see http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/sourcedocs/collections.html Best Regards, George -- George Cristian Bina <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com Wendell Piez wrote:
Hi,
I know about the Find/Replace in Files option on the context menu in the Project View. Run a string (or regular expression) search through a set of files collected in a folder in your project. Cool.
How about an XPath option that would work the same way? Currently I usually write myself a little Schematron to locate particular nodes, which isn't a big deal. But it would be nice not to have to when the search can be expressed simply in a one-line XPath.
Cheers, Wendell
