RE: excess whitespace

Chris,

I suspect that the extra line terminators are coming
from your XML document. Try stripping the white
space from your XML doc (using the default-space="strip"
attribute in the stylesheet element) and using the
text instruction to output the line terminators.

For example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet 
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0"
    indent-result="no" default-space="strip">

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:text>FIELD1&#9;FIELD2&#9;FIELD3&#xD;&#xA;</xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="record">
<xsl:value-of select="field_1" /><xsl:text>&#9;</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="field_2" /><xsl:text>&#9;</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="field_3" /><xsl:text>&#xD;&#xA;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Caveat emptor: I didn't test the example.

Hope this helps.

Bob
