HI,

could anybody of you please tell me what I am doing wrong.
I want to create an xml file from a txt file, where the new elements should all have a different name.

But when I use <xsl:element> the way I do I get the follwoing error:
XSL transformation failed - Expected QName.

Thx for your help!
Sebastian.

<xsl:output method="xml"/>
<xsl:variable name="in" select="string('dump.txt')"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="line" select="tokenize(unparsed-text($in), '\r?\n')"/>

<xsl:for-each select="$line">
<xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()"/>
<xsl:if test="contains(current(),'PCB')">
<xsl:variable name="header-fields" select='tokenize(normalize-space(current())," ")'/>
<xsl:variable name="nextLine" select="$line[ $pos +1 ]"/>
<xsl:variable name="nextLine-fields" select="tokenize(normalize-space($nextLine),' ')"/>

<xsl:for-each select="$header-fields">
<xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()"/>
<xsl:variable name="name" select="."/>
<xsl:element name="{$name}">
<xsl:value-of select="$nextLine-fields[$pos]"/>
</xsl:element>

</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

</xsl:template>

Use the debugger to find out exactly what the value of {$name} is,
to make sure you have selected what you think you have selected.

If you have 2 spaces in a row, tokenize will give you an empty string. Eg. if you tokenized "ab c d" (2 spaces between c and d, this forum truncates), you'd get "ab", "c", "", "d"

You may need to add a check that the name does not equal the empty string "".
