How do I split a large xml file?

Question

We export “records” to an xml file; one of our customers has complained that the file is too big for their other system to process. Therefore I need to split up the file,

Answer 1

There is nothing built in that can handle this situation easily.

Your approach sounds reasonable, though I would probably start with a "skeleton" document containing the elements that need to be repeated and generate several documents with the "records".

Update:

After a bit of digging, I found this article describing a way to split files using XSLT.
