Thread: parallel manipulation of XML files

Hi!

New to this forum and a fairly new at Java. I'm currently starting my thesis where my Project will involve creating a diff and merge tool for simulink slx files.
These are built using several xml files, a png and sometimes some other data files. One can get to these files by changing the file extension to zip.

I am a bit troubled by this since I want to be able to handle all these files simultaneously and hence need to do this automatically when choosing the slx file.

I would appreciate some strategic advice on how to handle this issue or any documentation that might help me regarding this.

Thanks
Mike

I want to be able to handle all these files simultaneously and hence need to do this automatically when choosing the slx file

It's not clear what this means and why it troubles you. What has to be done simultaneously and automatically? Once the .six file is unpacked, the multiple files it contains can be opened at the same time as needed, but what happens next?

Thanks for the reply I hope this makes things a tad bit clearer

What I want to do is to parse the consisting xml files so I would like to find each file and make them into objects (I guess) and from here on use either Xpath or similiar packages/functionalities to manipulate the xml files.
So practically what I need is to do is:
-change the file extension to zip
-find the files within the small library inside the zip file
-create objects or temporary files of each these to be able to manipulate them
