query.exe -s:mydatafile.xml -q:myqueryfile -o:myoutputfile

but don't know how load multiple xml files , not one

edit: have many xml files mydatafile1.xml, mydatafile2.xml, mydatafile3.xml ... , want run query alla these files want load all files , query them (i don't want query every single file , concatenate results)

use standard xpath 2.0 function collection().

the documentation saxon-specific implementation of collection() here.

you can use standard xpath 2.x collection() function, as implemented in saxon 9.x

the saxon implementation allows search pattern used in string-uri argument of function, may able specify after path of directory pattern filename starting report_ having 2 other characters, ending .xml.

example:

this xpath expression:

collection('file:///c:/?select=report_*.xml') 

selects document nodes of every xml document resides in c:\ in file name starting report_ having 0 or more characters, ending .xml.
