Sorry, I should have created a new topic for this.

Converting TXT to XML

I tried one and it produced a .conv file.

I am not sure what to do with it.

Am I able to use it in my Cold Fusion program in a manner similar to how I use a .XLS file in the CF Function XmlTransform?

The source file has one Name=Value pair per line
eg City=Portland
State=OR
The destination file is XML
<City>Portland</City>
<State>OR</State>

Thanks

Please read chapter 17 in the Stylus Studio documentation.

As I mentioned before you will need to investigate how to call Java from CF to use the Stylus Studio Converters

Yes, that is a handy chapter to read.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Given that my Cold Fusion experience is limited and my Java experience even more so, for now I am going to stick with "simple".
"Simple" seems to be that which XSLT can do.
Cold Fusion had the XmlTransform function that takes two files, an XML and a XSLT and produces a new XML file.
Stylus Studio does a nice job of simplifying this process for me.

So, it seems that my use of StylusStudio will be limited to XML to XML conversion.

Yeah? Have I "got it" finally?

I cannot use just XSLT to convert XML to EDI formats.
I cannot use just XSLT to convert Text CSV to XML formats.

Thanks
Archie
