I have downloaded the evaluation version of Stylus Studio and I am try to set-up a proof-of-concept project with the view of eventually purchasing the product if successfull.

Basically I am trying to convert a text (fixed-format) file to XML.
Each line in the text field is 218 characters in length including the CR/LF delimiters. The first line contains header (summary information) and the remaining lines contain individual (detail) lines.

When I first created the project I defined the first region as fixed-length and started a second region on the second row also fixed length.
So far so good. When I run a conversion I see the XML output with two regions the first containing the first row as an element and the subsequent rows as elements of the second region.

But when I save and subsequently reload the project I find that all the rows are merged into one region. Worst still the environment crashes complaining that the regions mustn't overlap. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

How can I define the first row as being in one region and the rest of the rows in the second region?

Hi Marinos

Could you send us what you have created so far and a sample of your input document at stylussupport@ivitecnologies.com ?

Thanks!

I contrived an example to send you but that appeared to work as intended.

The layout is similar to the original data I want to work with, but the file I created was much smaller in size. (180 characters per line instead of 418).

I can send an example of the original data but would prefer not to do this publicly.

Thanks,

Marinos.

Hi Marinos,

stylussupport@ivitecnologies.com is an email box we do not share the test cases with anyone.

The address 'stylussupport@ivitecnologies.com'

appears to be problematic from my end. Emails are bouncing back.
