Writing to a file

Output of an SgmlQL query can be written to a file, using the operator into. string provides the filename. The format can then be specified by giving to nameone of the values NSGML or SGMLS.

The empty option can be used to specify the generic identifiers of the nodes which must be written as SGML EMPTY TAGS.

Prototype

null <-- query into string [ format: name ] [ empty: names ]

Example

(
 document
  docdtd:  "/dtds/dates.dtd"
  body: 
    element DATES
      content: (top DATE within file $myfile)
) into file "dates.sgml" empty: PTR
;

If string starts with the pipe sign (i.e. "| string") the output is piped into the UN*X command contained in the following string.

Example

top DATE within file $myfile
into file "| mailx multext@lpl.univ-aix.fr"
;
