Subject: RE: [xsl] TEXT flat file as input From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2006 09:53:49 +0100 |
In XSLT 2.0 this is straightforward. You can use unparsed-text() to read the text file, and tokenize() to split it into records and fields. In 1.0 it's a bit more convoluted. You first need to turn it into XML (by adding a trivial start and end tag), then you need to process it using recursive templates. But it's almost certainly possible to find reusable code that can do this.
