RE: [xsl] csv data to xml

[Michele R Combs <mrrothen@xxxxxxx>]

Where is the csv coming from?  Can you output the original data as some kind
of XML instead of csv?  Many programs these days can do that -- e.g., Excel
and FilemakerPro can both export their own flavors of very basic XML.  Then
you'd be able to work with XML in/XML out, which might be the easiest.

Hi
Regarding a specific advangage, not realy!
XSLT was considered as the easyest way to create the xml output!
The validation I think can happen with other services / technologies from the
platform after the transformation have done.

Based on what you say in your post about your problem, I would not use XSLT
for this. I'd use python, perl, sed, awk or something similar to perform the
transformation and feed the output to a validator to check that the document
is at least well-formed and, if there's a schema, that it conforms to the
schema.

Is there a substantial advantage that you see XSLT giving you over other
solutions?
