Re: XML generation from a text file

I have a plain text file as following.
I want to read the text file line by line and add each line
as a value of element of an xml document.

The generated xml document will be as following.

Any suggestion?

Do you like Python ?
I could make it smaller but I had used the minidom package to
keep a relationship with xml :)

import os, sys
import xml.dom.minidom

f=file(sys.argv[1])
result = file(sys.argv[2],"w")

doc = xml.dom.minidom.Document()
root=doc.createElementNS("", "someURIs")
doc.appendChild(doc.createProcessingInstruction("xml-stylesheet",
	"type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"multiple_input3.xsl\""))
doc.appendChild(root)

# read lines from in file
for line in f.readlines():
	node = doc.createElementNS("", "file")
	node.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(line))
	root.appendChild(node)
	
# write result
result.write(doc.toprettyxml(indent="  ",encoding="ISO-8859-1"))
