I’ve run into the same thing in my Validation Dashboard—I need to go from files within a directory to their full path because I’m translating file system paths in to repo-local paths and whatnot. As Hans-Juergen shows, it’s not hard to combine the path you just passed to file:path() and the name but it’s annoying to have to do it.

(a) It is the full paths what we need in order to parse the files (doc(), json:doc(), csv:doc(), html:doc()).
Why? A relative path should work fine; if necessary you can use resolve- uri() to turn a relative path into a full URI.
(b) The combination of file listing and parsing in a single expression is of matchless elegance and expressiveness
Currently, if I don't overlook something, I have to do this: file:list($dir, false(), $fname) ! concat($dir, '/', .) ! doc(.) => count()
Probably, you should use resolve-uri($dir, base-uri(.)) although i suppose you also need to watch for filenames containing colons... -- Liam Quin, https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.delightfulcomputing.com/__;!!N4vogdjhuJM!UiKCPedrJtAEOktUyXkuK6E_cB-poSonq-v2i0BLuTk97ARgvkqXh6kzGQDRC4GqOSKbIw$<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.delightfulcomputing.com/__;!!N4vogdjhuJM!UiKCPedrJtAEOktUyXkuK6E_cB-poSonq-v2i0BLuTk97ARgvkqXh6kzGQDRC4GqOSKbIw$> Available for XML/Document/Information Architecture/XSLT/ XSL/XQuery/Web/Text Processing/A11Y training, work & consulting.
