Re: Can one within a for-each loop wrap, output, sink a set of files and continue processing with remaining files?

You can improve the pipeline depending on the most resource intensive  
step. If you want to reduce the number of XML documents parsed in  
memory, an alternative could be to work on the sequence of file paths  
returned by the p:directory-list rather than on the sequence of  
document. In other words, you would move the resource-intensive p:load  
from the first p:for-each to the second:

p:for-each => to create a sequence of 100 paths from the flat list  
returned by p:directory-list
(note the result of this first p:for-each is a sequence of 1000  
documents)
p:wrap-seqence[@group-adjacent] => split the sequence of 1000 into 200- 
sets
p:for-each => another iteration over the 5 packs of 200 files, to  
process each pack at a time, loading the document then processing it

Vojtech's idea of using recursion sounds good to.
