here's an example adapted from an asp batch processor that was in an article
about 2 years ago in AspToday I started porting it to wscript yesterday and
changed it to use a filelist we're using, this is dirty code but it works so
I don't mind sharing.


okay first you have a .js script, as follows(could also be vbscript, since
wscript handles both):

var domFiles, root, wargs

	wargs = WScript.Arguments;
	var arg1 = WScript.Arguments(0);

	// get the set of files to process
	domFiles = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
//	domFiles.async = false;
	var style= WScript.Arguments(4);
		domStyle = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
		domStyle.async = false;
		domStyle.load(style);


		var header = "\<\?xml version\=\"1.0\" encoding\=\"iso-8859-1\"\?\>";

	if (!domFiles.load(arg1))
	{
		//WScript.Echo('file not found')
	};
	//if (domFiles.parseError != 0)
		//WScript.Echo(domFiles.url + ": " + domFiles.parseError.reason + "<BR
/>");

	//var root = domFiles.documentElement;
	//WScript.Echo(domFiles.xml)
	//WScript.Echo(domFiles.documentElement.xml)

		var fileNodeList=domFiles.documentElement.selectNodes('./file')

	//WScript.Echo(fileNodeList.length)
		for (var i = 0 ; i < fileNodeList.length ; i++)
	{
		//WScript.Echo(fileNodeList(i).xml)
		//WScript.Echo(fileNodeList(i).attributes.getNamedItem('name').text)

		domSource = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
		domSource.async = false;

		//get file name from file list
		var fileget = fileNodeList(i).attributes.getNamedItem('name').text

		//get file path from file list
		var filePath= fileNodeList(i).attributes.getNamedItem('path').text

		//get file type from filelist(not really necessary for dom loading
scripts, but  could  		//be useful elsewhere...)
		var fileType= fileNodeList(i).attributes.getNamedItem('type').text

//replaced code....
		//root.childNodes.item(i).text;
		//var fpath = WScript.Arguments(1);
// end replaced code

		//concatenate full file path
 		file1 = filePath + fileget +  '.' + fileType;

		//do stuff that you gotta do with file
		opath = WScript.Arguments(3);
		var file = opath + fileget;
		//WScript.Echo(file1);
		domSource.load(file1);
		//WScript.Echo(domSource.xml);
		//if (domSource.parseError != 0)
//		WScript.Echo(domSource.url + ": " + domSource.parseError.reason);
result = domSource.transformNode(domStyle);

		result =  header + result;


		var objFSO = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
		var location =  file + WScript.Arguments(2);

		var objNewFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(location);
		objNewFile.Write(result.toString());
		objNewFile.Close();


		}

	this loads an xml file, as follows:
<file_list><file name="ENWelcome"  path="file:///e:\LocalProjects\Itni
skProduct\ProductExe\SITES\Bordeaux Test1\SITEROOT\content\default\"
type="xml"/><file name="ENIdea"  path="file:///e:\LocalProjects\Itni
skProduct\ProductExe\SITES\Bordeaux Test1\SITEROOT\content\default\"
type="xml"/></file_list>

disregard the path attribute am not making use of that, am instead passing
in the path as an argument to the wscript. this what all those
WScript.Arguments are about, here's a .bat	 file
the first argument WScript.Arguments(0) is an xml file, the second is the
folder where you're pulling your files for transformation the third is the
extension you want to output the fourth is the folder you want to output to
and the fifth is your xsl.

make.js XMLsrcList.xml .\content\ .fo .\output\ make.xsl
