Hello,

I know very little about programming, even so I was able to use PHP
Simple DOM for open a file and outputs a new xml file. I'm trying to
create a WordPress xml import script for a specific local service that
doesn't offer any content export. The script must open all remote
files (after some service config) and output a new xml file for
download.

I already have the working script but need help on:

* Open all remote .htm files with the prefix 'arch'

Right now the script works greatly on parsing a single static/remote
local htm file and output a new xml file, but can't figure out how to
open prefix-based files.

Thanks for any help

You will need a way to list the files, i.e. with (s)ftp. HTTP protocol
has no provisions for wildcards in URI names.

I trust these files are all on YOUR domain.
As there are legal issues for accessing files you are not entitled to.

One way might be to read the file directory, parse the filename and see if
it contains "arch".

e.g.
thisdomain.com/folder/folder/archive.html
parse to "archive.html".
Does filename contain "arch"? if yes then open.
