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.

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
