Hi, I am currently trying to convert tiered Xml into a CSV file. The number of elements/attributes and depth of the data is not known at runtime. I can get the comma seperated data appearing fairly well currently but am having trouble getting the column names. eg for the data <books> <book bookname="blinky bill"/> <book bookname="superman"> <author name="steve" age="24"/> </book> <book bookname="snugglepot"> <author name="frank" age="60"/> </book> </books> I want to get the output: bookname,name,age blinky bill superman,steve,24 snugglepot,frank,60 I am getting the data ok, but the header line is tougher as you need to know the longest "branch" in the data to get all of the possible column names. Any ideas? (remember that I will not know the shape, depth , attribute or element names at runtime) Thanks, Steve XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
