stag-splitter(1p)
NAME
stag-splitter - splits a stag file into multiple files
SYNOPSIS
stag-splitter -split person -name social_security_no file.xml
DESCRIPTION
Splits a file using a user specified parser (default xml) around a
specified split node, naming each file according to the name argument
the files will be named anonymously, unless the '-name' switch is
specified; this will use the value of the specified element as the
filename
eg; if we have
<top>
<a>
<b>foo</b>
<c>yah</c>
<d>
<e>xxx</e>
</d>
</a>
<a>
<b>bar</b>
<d>
<e>wibble</e>
</d>
</a>
</top>
if we run
stag-splitter -split a -name b
it will generate two files, "foo.xml" and "bar.xml"
input format can be 'xml', 'sxpr' or 'itext' - if this is left blank
the format will be guessed from the file suffix
the output format defaults to the same as the input format, but another
can be chosen.
files go in the current directory, but this can be overridden with the
'-dir' switch
