Dear Kurt, thanks for the Kudos and thanks for your suggestion as well. As a quick solution you could do the following (entirely in XQuery ;-)): Use file:list($dir, false(), "*.xml") [1] to retrieve a sequence of files without recursing into a subdirectory. Then either (1) Iterate over this sequence and perform your analysis on the fly or (2) create a database containing only the matching files and perform the analysis afterwards For (1) and (2) see this GIST: https://gist.github.com/8488e895c5f73ac4de49 I hope this helps :-) Kind regards Michael [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/File_Module#file:list [2] https://gist.github.com/8488e895c5f73ac4de49 Am 13.07.2012 um 07:35 schrieb Kurt Conrad:

First, I just downloaded and used BaseX to audit and report a variety of parent contexts across a set of about 2,500 XML documents. It was very painless. Many thanks.

Second, I couldn't find a way to prevent recursive indexing of subdirectories. If the feature doesn't exist, it would be handy. In my case, I had the current set of files in the selected directory and old versions in subdirectories.

Thanks, again.
