I have actually written a Library module. I have probably understood the problem, in that a few user-defined functions which I called in a nested way contained, each of them, a for-loop. I tried to not add for-loops in the definition of functions but just have one main for-loop in the body of the query and now I can easily get my results in the GUI. However, another problem arose: when I try to launch the command "basex myquery.xq" from the command line, I start getting the output of the query correctly, but at a certain point it gets stuck and java runs out of memory, even though the same query performs in less than a minute in the GUI. Any idea?

Hi Joseph,

Could you please post your script?

Thanks in advance,

Christian

I have 223 XML files and I need to perform some actions on each of them, so that the output should be the modified texts (223 new files).

What I have noticed is that if I apply my script recursively to each file and then save the results in new files (file:write()), everything works fast. On the other hand, If I do not write out the results in new files (but I expect the results from all the files in the GUI), the GUI freezes and then runs out of memory.

My question is: is there a way to get the script working well without using file:write()? Should I always apply this script strategy when I work with many files?

Thanks,
Joseph
