stag-splitter - splits a stag file into multiple files
stag-splitter -split person -name social_security_no file.xml
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
stag-splitter [-split <ELEMENT-NAME>] [-name <ELEMENT-NAME>] [-dir <DIR>] [-format <INPUT-FORMAT>] [-outformat <OUTPUT-FORMAT>] <FILENAMES>
FORMAT is one of xml, sxpr or itext, or the name of a perl module
xml assumed as default
node to split on
field/element to use when naming files
will use surrogate IDs if this argument not specified
write files to this directory
