XML Input Format From-Entity Syntax

<from-entity> ::= <document>[#<XPath>] [ , <document>[#<XPath>] ... ]
<document> ::= <filename> | <url>
The <from-entity> specified in queries using the XML input format is a comma-separated list of paths or URLs of XML files.
Filenames or URLs can be optionally followed by an XPath that specifies which node(s) in the document are to be considered root node(s).

Filenames can include wildcards (e.g. "LogFiles\doc*.xml").

Examples:

FROM Document1.xml, http://blogs.msdn.com/MainFeed.aspx
FROM Document1.xml#/rss/channel/item, http://blogs.msdn.com/MainFeed.aspx#/rss/channel/item
