Kinda / Probably. XSLT is a transformation that works like this: [XML Document]---------->[================] [ XSLT Processor ]------> [XML or Text] [XSLT Stylesheet]------->[================] So you can't just give it a text or binary file as input. You can, however, write a script (in Perl or something) to convert your record-oriented data into a naive XML format, then feed that into XSLT to get the "proper" xml representation of your data. How much work the script has to do, and how complicated your XSLT will need to be all depends on: 1. What does the current record format look like? 2. What do you want the resulting XML to look like? The short answer is yeah, you can do it. But I wouldn't wager my life on that proposition without more information. -Wayne Steele >From: rsanford <rsanford@n...> >can i use XSLT to convert xml data to/from fixed record data? ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
