Hi,

I am a newbie at XSLT and was wondering whether I could get some hand in regards to the following. I want to use xslt to build a fixed length file

the xml I have looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CSV file="d:\temp\import.csv" fileType="CSV" separator="," type="Structure">
<CSV type="RecordDescriptor">
<ONE fieldType="Integer" format="10" length="10"/>
<TWO fieldType="String" format="6" length="6"/>
</CSV>
<Record>
<ONE type="String">1234567890</ONE>
<TWO type="String">abcdef</TWO>
</Record>
<Record>
<ONE type="String">0987654321</ONE>
<TWO type="String">xyzwyc</TWO>
</Record>
</CSV>

the data i want is under Record elements however the value of the fixed lengths are stored as attributes under the CSV element. This xml is provided to me by some developers I was wondering how I can create fixed length file using the value under record but fixing the length according to the values above

Chris,
I think we can cook up something cool for this, but we need to know a few things first.

Is the <CSV type="RecordDescriptor"> element the same each time? That is, do you need to handle just one record format?
Or, maybe there are only 3 or 4 different formats you need to handle?
Or, maybe it is totally variable, and the solution needs to be completely general.
=====
Second, can you clarify what the output format is? Your example seems to imply that the output should be CSV, values separated by comma characters, but you say that you want fixed length. So, do you want fixed length fields with the commas, or just fixed length fields without the commas?
=====
Finally, the data items in your example are already the correct output width. Is that always the case, or do you sometimes need to pad them to the correct length? In the <Record> elements, do all data items always exist, or are there sometimes missing items which need to be replaced by the correct padding?


Thanks
Clyde

Chris, Here is a sample .xslt file which gives you an idea of one way to create a fixed width file. I don't know if this bulleting board will mess up the formatting in the .xslt file. Just make sure that the line which defines $pad-string has lots of blanks, and the line which defines $new-line has a single new line character. Let us know if it helps, Clyde
