NAME
stag-splitter - splits a stag file into multiple files
SYNOPSIS
stag-splitter -split person -name social_security_no file.xml
DESCRIPTION
Splits a file using a user specified parser (default xml) around a specified split node, naming each file according to the name argument the files will be named anonymously, unless the '-name' switch is specified; this will use the value of the specified element as the filename eg; if we have <top> <a> <b>foo</b> <c>yah</c> <d> <e>xxx</e> </d> </a> <a> <b>bar</b> <d> <e>wibble</e> </d> </a> </top> if we run stag-splitter -split a -name b it will generate two files, "foo.xml" and "bar.xml" input format can be 'xml', 'sxpr' or 'itext' - if this is left blank the format will be guessed from the file suffix the output format defaults to the same as the input format, but another can be chosen. files go in the current directory, but this can be overridden with the '-dir' switch
