Zemer MargolinSubject: How to convert lines with no identification

Hello,
I need to convert a txt file which has the following structure:
header line with a specific ID at position 0
transaction lines with no id
trailer line with a specific ID at position 0

this block repeats itself numerous times in the file.
each block contains transactions of one type only.
transactions type within a block is specified in one of the block header fields.
All lines are tab delimited.
how can I convert such file using Stylus?
thanks
Zemer

If you create three patterns, two with regular expression matching
rules and one without, the one without will always be used last.

So the header could match, the trailer could match, and everything
else would use the pattern with no regexp.

Thanks.
the problem is, that each transaction type can have different number of fields with different length.
would Stylus be able to "split" each transaction to fields just by using the fact that it's tab delimited?

Each different regular expression row can have its own field layout, so yes.

If I understand your question, then the answer is "yes".
