How to merge xml files?

[maruiqi0710]

I got lots of InterProScan annotation files with an XML suffix through iprscan5.py (Script from https://www.ebi.ac.uk/seqdb/confluence/display/JDSAT/InterProScan+5+Help+and+Documentation). How to merge them into one file and then pass it to funannotate annotate --iprscan? Is there a specific pipeline?

There isn't a script to do this directly, however, it is done in the interproscan wrapper, you can see the function here:
