Revision as of 10:17, 9 March 2023

This XQuery Module contains functions related to file system operations, such as listing, reading, or writing files.

This module is based on the EXPath File Module. The following enhancements have not been added to the specification yet:

Function	Description
`file:descendants`	new function
`file:is-absolute`	new function
`file:read-text`, `file:read-text-lines`	`$fallback` argument added
`file:read-text-lines`	`$offset` and `$length` arguments added
`file:resolve-path`	`$base` argument added

Conventions

All functions and errors in this module are assigned to the http://expath.org/ns/file namespace, which is statically bound to the file prefix.

For serialization parameters, the http://www.w3.org/2010/xslt-xquery-serialization namespace is used, which is statically bound to the output prefix.

The error invalid-path is raised if a path is invalid.

File Paths

All file paths are resolved against the current working directory (the directory from which BaseX or, more generally, the Java Virtual Machine, was started). This directory can be retrieved via file:base-dir.

A path can be specified as local filesystem path or as file URI.

Returned strings that refer to existing directories are suffixed with a directory separator.

Read Operations

file:list

Signatures	`file:list($dir as xs:string) as xs:string` `file:list($dir as xs:string, $recursive as xs:boolean) as xs:string` `file:list($dir as xs:string, $recursive as xs:boolean, $pattern as xs:string) as xs:string*`
Summary	Lists all files and directories found in the specified `$dir`. The returned paths are relative to the provided path. The optional parameter `$recursive` specifies whether subdirectories will be traversed, too. The optional parameter `$pattern` defines a file name pattern in the Glob Syntax. If present, only those files and directories are returned that correspond to the pattern. Several patterns can be separated with a comma (`,`).
Errors	`not-found`: the specified file does not exist. `no-dir`: the specified path does not point to a directory. `io-error`: the operation fails for some other reason.
Examples	.txt} files located in a specific directory and its subdirectories: <syntaxhighlight lang="xquery"> let $root := 'path/to/files/' for $file in file:list($root, true(), '*.txt') let $path := $root \|\| $file where file:size($path) > 1000000 return file:read-text($path) </syntaxhighlight>

file:children

Signatures	`file:children($dir as xs:string) as xs:string*`
Summary	Returns the full paths to all files and directories found in the specified `$dir`. The inverse function is `file:parent`. The returned paths start with the specified directory. The related function `file:list` returns relative file paths.
Errors	`not-found`: the specified file does not exist. `no-dir`: the specified path does not point to a directory. `io-error`: the operation fails for some other reason.
Examples	Return the contents of large `.txt` files located in a specific directory: <syntaxhighlight lang="xquery"> for $file in file:children('path/to/files/') where matches($file, '.txt', 'i') and file:size($file) > 1000000 return file:read-text($$file) </syntaxhighlight>

file:descendants

Signatures	`file:descendants($dir as xs:string) as xs:string*`
Summary	Returns the full paths to all files and directories found in the specified `$dir` and its subdirectories. . The returned paths start with the specified directory. The related function `file:list` creates relative file paths.
Errors	`not-found`: the specified file does not exist. `no-dir`: the specified path does not point to a directory. `io-error`: the operation fails for some other reason.
Examples	Return the contents of all `.txt` files located in a specific directory and its subdirectories: <syntaxhighlight lang="xquery"> for $file in file:descendants('path/to/files/') where matches($file, '.txt', 'i') and file:size($file) > 1000000 return file:read-text($$file) </syntaxhighlight>

file:read-binary

Signatures	`file:read-binary($path as xs:string) as xs:base64Binary` `file:read-binary($path as xs:string, $offset as xs:integer) as xs:base64Binary` `file:read-binary($path as xs:string, $offset as xs:integer, $length as xs:integer) as xs:base64Binary`
Summary	Reads the binary content of the file specified by `$path` and returns it as lazy `xs:base64Binary` item. The optional parameters `$offset` and `$length` can be used to read chunks of a file.
Errors	`not-found`: the specified file does not exist. `is-dir`: the specified path is a directory. `out-of-range`: the offset or length is negative, or the chosen values would exceed the file bounds. `io-error`: the operation fails for some other reason.
Examples	`lazy:cache(file:read-binary("config.data"))` enforces the file access (otherwise, it will be delayed until requested first).

file:read-text

Signatures	`file:read-text($path as xs:string) as xs:string` `file:read-text($path as xs:string, $encoding as xs:string) as xs:string` `file:read-text($path as xs:string, $encoding as xs:string, $fallback as xs:boolean) as xs:string`
Summary	Reads the textual contents of the file specified by `$path` and returns it as lazy `xs:string` item: The UTF-8 default encoding can be overwritten with the optional `$encoding` argument. By default, invalid characters will be rejected. If `$fallback` is set to true, these characters will be replaced with the Unicode replacement character `FFFD` (�).
Errors	`not-found`: the specified file does not exist. `is-dir`: the specified path is a directory. `unknown-encoding`: the specified encoding is not supported, or unknown. `io-error`: the operation fails for some other reason.
Examples	`lazy:cache(file:read-text("ids.txt"))` enforces the file access (otherwise, it will be delayed until requested first).

file:read-text-lines

Signatures file:read-text-lines($path as xs:string) as xs:string*
file:read-text-lines($path as xs:string, $encoding as xs:string) as xs:string*

file:read-text-lines($path as xs:string, $encoding as xs:string, $fallback as xs:boolean, $offset as xs:integer, $length as xs:integer) as xs:string*

Summary

Reads the textual contents of the file specified by $path and returns it as a sequence of xs:string items:

The UTF-8 default encoding can be overwritten with the optional $encoding argument.
By default, invalid characters will be rejected. If $fallback is set to true, these characters will be replaced with the Unicode replacement character FFFD (�).

The lines to be read can be restricted with the optional parameters $offset and $length.

Errors not-found: the specified file does not exist.
is-dir: the specified path is a directory.
unknown-encoding: the specified encoding is not supported, or unknown.
io-error: the operation fails for some other reason.

Write Operations

file:create-dir

Signatures	`file:is-dir($path as xs:string) as xs:boolean`
Summary	Returns an `xs:boolean` indicating whether the argument `$path` points to an existing directory.

file:is-absolute

Signatures	`file:is-absolute($path as xs:string) as xs:boolean`
Summary	Returns an `xs:boolean` indicating whether the argument `$path` is absolute. The behavior of this function depends on the operating system: On Windows, an absolute path starts with the drive letter and a colon, whereas on Linux it starts with a slash.

Errors	`not-found`: the specified file does not exist.

Path Functions

file:name

Signatures	`file:name($path as xs:string) as xs:string`
Summary	Returns the name of a file or directory specified by `$path`. An empty string is returned if the path points to the root directory.

file:parent

Signatures	`file:parent($path as xs:string) as xs:string?`
Summary	Returns the absolute path to the parent directory of a file or directory specified by `$path`. An empty sequence is returned if the path points to a root directory. The inverse function is `file:children`.

file:base-dir

Signatures	`file:base-dir() as xs:string?`
Summary	Returns the parent directory of the static base URI. If the static base URI is undefined or does not point to a local resource, it returns the empty sequence. Otherwise, it returns the same result as `file:parent(static-base-uri())`.

Errors

Code	Description
`exists`	A file with the same path already exists.
`invalid-path`	A specified path is invalid.
`io-error`	The operation fails for some other reason specific to the operating system.
