Hi,
As Michael suggested to use Saxon for huge files. I downloaded saxon8.7.3 and jdk5.0 .
I tested the files and it works fine for me.

But I have some questions using this product I know these may sound very dumb after I have installed saxon & have it running on my system...

1. Are there any commands to check whether the XML/XSLT file is valid or Is Saxon just a XSLT Processor.

2. I have a file close to 2 million lines and there is a error in the file I need to fix - How can I view this file as I said xml spy fails & says ran out of memory.

Thanks!

I have encountered another prob.

when I apply my stylesheet to xml it says:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutofMemoryError: Java heap space

Don't knwo how to fix this as Michael said it can handle files upto 100MB and my file isjust 43 MB and its failing!!!!!!!!!!

How big is your file, and how much memory did you allocate?

If you're not familiar with it, the way you allocate memory to Java on the command line is with a switch such as

java -Xmx512m net.sf.saxon.Transform...

Don't use XML Spy for any file larger than 10kb. It tries to build a DOM for the entire file and is incredibly slow.
If it is a simple error that you can figure out using I recommend using a normal text editor, like ultraedit.

Hey,
Saxon is such a amazing command line product to use if one has to work with huge XML files;
the proceessor got me the output so fast.....
I have to ask my company to buy this product.
indeed a great tool to use!!!!!!!!!!!!

I 'm going to try Ultraedit as suggested by jkmyoung to view the 43MB XML file which I have...

Thanks for your help!
