Ryan JohnsonSubject: XML to fixed length text
Author: Ryan Johnson

I am new to this product because I am searching for a solution that will take my XML file and create a fixed length text file.

How do I go about doing this? I am very new to XML but learning quick.

Thanks,

Ryan Johnson

Assume to have the following XML input document created with built-in CSV adapter
(adapter:CSV:newline=crlf:sep=,:first=no:escape=\:quotes='"?file:///c:/Program Files/Stylus Studio XML Professional Edition/examples/Adapters/one.csv)


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<table>
<row>
<column.1>make</column.1>
<column.2>model</column.2>
<column.3>year</column.3>
<column.4>mileage</column.4>
</row>
<row>
<column.1>BMW</column.1>
<column.2>R1150RS</column.2>
<column.3>2004</column.3>
<column.4>14274</column.4>
</row>
<row>
<column.1>Kawasaki</column.1>
<column.2>GPz1100</column.2>
<column.3>1996</column.3>
<column.4>60234</column.4>
</row>
<row>
<column.1>Ducati</column.1>
<column.2>ST2</column.2>
<column.3>1997</column.3>
<column.4>24000</column.4>
</row>
<row>
<column.1>Moto Guzzi</column.1>
<column.2>LeMans</column.2>
<column.3>2001</column.3>
<column.4>12393</column.4>
</row>
<row>
<column.1>BMW</column.1>
<column.2>R1150R</column.2>
<column.3>2002</column.3>
<column.4>17439</column.4>
</row>
<row>
<column.1>Ducati</column.1>
<column.2>Monster</column.2>
<column.3>2000</column.3>
<column.4>15682</column.4>
</row>
<row>
<column.1>Aprilia</column.1>
<column.2>Futura</column.2>
<column.3>2001</column.3>
<column.4>17320</column.4>
</row>
</table>

With the following XSLT you get back CSV

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="text()"/>

<xsl:template match="row">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="column.1|column.2|column.3">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="column.4">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

An example of producing fixed-width fields from XML input is on
another forum on SSDN. Please see
