Noob question on how to use Scales to split a large XML file into separate files

[Todd Nash]

I have a large XML file with repeating <cfb-score> elements that I need to split into separate files for each <cfb-score> entry. The top level elements (<sports-statistics> ... <cfb-scores>) need to be in each new file. How do I use Scales to best perform this?

An example of the XML file is:

<sports-statistics>
    <sports-scores>
        <date year="2014" month="10" date="4" day="6"/>
        <time hour="17" minute="36" second="25" timezone="Eastern" utc-hour="-4" utc-minute="00"/>
        <version number="5"/>
        <season season="2014"/>
        <cfb-scores>
            <cfb-score>
                <date year="2014" month="10" date="2" day="4"/>
                <time hour="19" minute="00" timezone="Eastern" utc-hour="-4" utc-minute="00"/>
                <local-game-date year="2014" month="10" date="2" day="4"/>
                <local-time hour="19" minute="00"/>
                <week week="7"/>

Hi Todd,

There are quite a few examples on the documentation site for pull parsing documents like this.

What have you tried so far?

Cheers,
Chris
