[Xsh-users] Problem using foreach

[Joe P. <jPo...@cd...>]

I'm using Xsh to edit a directory of Xml files

Here's my script:

$projIntake = "data/spreadsheet/out_2/out1";
foreach { glob("$projIntake/*.xml")}{
   print "infile : $__";
   $outFile = $__;
   print "outFile: $outFile";
   open f=$__;
   foreach //Cell remove @StyleID;
   saveas f;
};

This works as intended, but what I'd really like to do is preserve the input 
file and save the output to a different directory.

Is there any way to change the value of $__?

Attempting to assign the value of $__ to another varible is unsuccessful. 
Example: the result of the two print statements is

infile : data/spreadsheet/out_2/out1/Caregivers99_Section_A.xml
outFile: 0
infile : data/spreadsheet/out_2/out1/Caregivers99_Section_B.xml
outFile: 0
infile : data/spreadsheet/out_2/out1/Caregivers99_Section_C.xml
outFile: 0

Thanks for any help.
