Error when converting XML to CSV in command line

Question

I am trying to find all .xml file in a Linux directory and convert them to .csv by:

find . -name "*xml" -execdir sh -c 'xsltproc -o "${0%.xml}.csv" opv.xsl "$0"' {} \;

but the following error occurred:

warning: failed to load external entity "opv.xsl"
cannot parse opv.xsl

I have already installed the xsltproc package by conda install -c anaconda libxslt .

I believe you want to use -exec rather than -execdir . The difference is that -execdir executes the command in the directory containing each found file, but those directories won't contain your stylesheet. Alternatively, provide a full path to the stylesheet file.
