Hi,

I'd appreciate any help in writing an example set to xml.

I've tried the process below (as posted by Helge, http://rapid-i.com/rapidforum/index.php?topic=8256.0) but it doesn't combine the documents but instead produces only 1 record.

    Hi,

     

    I extended the process a bit and now I obtain an .xml file that I can read with the Read XML operator.

    Hallo Sebastian,

    May I ask you, please, to publish the results you obtain with your process?

    Merci,

    Maerkli

    Hi Maerkli,

     

    Are you refering to the results of Read XML?

     

    Unbenannt.PNG22Unbenannt.PNG

     

    Since it uses the Golf dataset, you can test it on your computer. It would be easy to rename the attributes.

     

    Regards,

    Sebastian
