Mike LucasSubject: preserving white space in XML conversion
Author: Mike Lucas
Date: 28 Apr 2009 08:31 AM
I created a conversion file to create an XML file from a non-delimited flat file, and need to preserve all whitespace outside and inside the value. I already went to Tools – Options – Editor General and checked "Preserve trailing/leading whitespace", but that does not save any whitespace. Is there a special tag or setting I can use to do this? If need be, I can delimit the file.

Thanks,
Michael

By default, the elements have several properties set that will reduce
white space. Get rid of anything that trims white space, and then also
set 'normalize spaces' to false for the fields you care about.

Thanks for replying Tony. I see the normalized spaces property has to be changed per field, but it does not affect the spaces before or after a field. Do you know what other properties trim white space? I do not see any others that affect white space.

Thanks,
Michael

"Toss characters" within the region might be your problem.
See http://www.stylusstudio.com/docs/v2009R2/d_flatfileconversion58.html
for the definition.

Looks like "Toss Characters" is not the problem. I am using a fixed-width region, so it does not apply.

Thanks,
Michael

Is there any chance you could share a portion of the input file
and the .conv file you've built so far?

You can send a copy to stylus-field-report (at) progress.com, and
we'll take a look for you.

I can do that, but I will need to scrub some of the customer data first. I will try to do this first thing tomorrow.

Thanks,
