Pravin TailorSubject: Text file to CSV to xml
Author: Pravin Tailor

Hi,

I have a text file with the following separator: ñ

Questions:

1. How do I set this as one of the separator in the drop down list.

2. How can I replace this character with a 'comma'?


Would it be better to convert to csv first and then to xml or can I go directly to xml by using 'ñ' as the field separator when creating a convert file?

Many thanks.
Pravin

I would use the built-in CSV converter
http://www.stylusstudio.com/csv_to_xml.html.

To change the separator you can pipe the input document into an identity transformation than pipe-out into the CSV converter using a different separator.

If you share sample of your data we will show you how.

Hope this helps

Hi Ivan,

That is great.

Are you able to provide me with some explanation on how the porject is set up, how the 'ñ' character is setup in the project to be converted to a comma.

I am very new to this conversion procedure and it would help me great deal with some explanation. I have gone through the video on csv to xml conversion and need to look at it again and use the output of this test data to generate xml output.

Thanks again.

If you open the scenario dialog in the XSLT editor you will find the information pretty self explanatory.

In input the CSV converter takes the flat file and turns into XML

The XSLT processor just pipe the XML into the CSV converter, this time changing the character separator.

Input document URL
converter:CSV:sep=ñ?file:///g:/TestData.txt

Output document URL
converter:CSV:sep=,?file:///g:/out.txt

Hope this helps

Hi Ivan,

Many thanks for the explanation.

I have one question and that is, how or why is the character ñ in the original file converted to ñ in the converter? Is this some kind of character translation? If so, what is this conversion?

Are there expamples of these on your website?

Thanks.

The character ñ is made of multiple bytes, in order to encode it into a valid URL you have to escape it.

XPath 2.0 provides a function to escape special characters for URL

fn:escape-html-uri("converter:CSV:sep=ñ?file:///TestData.txt")

the resulting URL is

converter:CSV:sep=%C3%B1?file:///TestData.txt

Once the URL is in the scenario it may get escaped so you get

converter:CSV:sep=ñ?file:///g:/TestData.txt

Hope this helps
