Thank you for the clarification and the example – I wasn’t aware of this option. Von: Christian Grün <christian.gruen@gmail.com> Gesendet: Montag, 1.

When in a directory of XML files one file extension is not .xml but .xsl then with java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseX -u -w -i"localpath/" update.xquery only .xml-files get updates (not .xsl) Only with java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseX -u -w -i"localpath/file.xsl" update.xquery the .xsl-file does get an update. BaseX 11.0 The documentation only says: " Opens the specified XML file, directory with XML files, or database", but not anything about file extensions. https://docs.basex.org/main/Command-Line_Options Thanks, Daniel
