Author: bart van Hees

hello all,

please assist me in first time use of stylus studio:
I want to convert an xml to a csv.
the xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <eExact xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="eExact-Schema.xsd">
- <Orders>
- <Order type="B" number="20026510">
- <OrderLine lineNo="1">
<Description>testarticle1</Description>
<Quantity>10</Quantity>
</OrderLine>
- <OrderLine lineNo="2">
<Description>testarticle2</Description>
<Quantity>8</Quantity>
</OrderLine>
</Order>
</Orders>
</eExact>

( to make it readable, I deleted a lot of lines, which are not relevant now, but the actual file is a lot bigger with more tags)

What I want to create is a flat file (csv)

I must look like this:

10;testarticle1
8;testarticle2

So, what I'd really appriciate if someone can give me like a step-to-step guido of how to tackle this issue.

The final use must be that I can select a XML with every time the above mentioned structure. After selecting this XML and processing by Stylus Studio, the goal is that a flat file (.csv) is stored at my local drive. Maybe a hint for this too?

Thanks for your help!!

regards,
Bart

Just write some xslt to do the transformation

1. File > New > XSLT Stylesheet
2. Choose the XML file as the source
3. In the tree that appears on the right, drag the "OrderLine" node
to within the <xsl:template> block, and choose "apply-templates" from
the menu.
4. Before the final </xsl:stylesheet>, again drag the "OrderLine" node
but this time as a "template".
5. Drag the "Quantity" and "Description" nodes into the newly-created
template as value-of's.
6. Insert <xsl:text> blocks for the ; and the linefeed
7. Set the output method to "text" (you can do that on the "Params/Other"
tab at the bottom of the window).

The finished transform should look something like this:

<?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 select="eExact/Orders/Order/OrderLine"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="OrderLine">
<xsl:value-of select="Quantity"/>
<xsl:text>;</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="Description"/>
<xsl:text>&#x10;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

You might need &#13;&#10; for your line ending, depending on your
target platform.

When you preview, make sure you use the "Preview Text" view and not
the "Preview in Browser" view, to see what your output will really
look like.

Hello! thanks a lot for your post. It was really helpful. I managed to get the output!!
Now I only need some support in the 'last step'.

I need to be able to transfer seperate files, and create new files with converted data.
I really don't know how to tackle this.

So I got the output in the preview window, but want to store it in some textfile. And beond: I want to be able to select individual files to be converted, preferably with every created file with a unique name.

Can someone point me out in the right direction???

Regards, Bart

You can use the bundled executable, StylusXslt.exe, to run the
transforms outside of Stylus Studio. This will let you control
the input and output filenames.

Alternatively, you can use another transform engine. Saxon,
from www.saxonica.com, includes both Java and .net engines of
very high quality, and can be used for no cost.
