Re: [basex-talk] Folder operations in BaseX

Hi Bhushan (cc to the list),

So you are exclusively working with binary resources, right? In that case, a query like the following one can be used:

let $db := 'db' let $src-path := 'src/' let $trg-path := 'trg/' for $src in db:list($db, $src-path) let $trg := $trg-path || substring-after($src, $src-path) return db:store($db, $trg, db:retrieve($db, $src))

I have added a slightly revised version of this query in our Wiki [1].

Hope this helps, Christian

Hi Christian,

  Thanks for reaching out. I am currently trying to use the db:store(source, destination, file) in an xqeury. This approach works well when the source is a file but doesn’t work when the source is a folder. I need something that will move/copy and entire folder and not just a file.

How did you proceed so far?
