Subject: Re: [xsl] How to stream-process non-XML text using unparsed-text-lines( ) ? From: "mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2014 09:36:55 -0000 |
In Saxon, just use xsl:for-each select="unparsed-text-lines(...)". IIRC the Saxon 9.5 implementation is streamed, but its definition of "lines" is based on Java readLine() which has some subtle differences from the definition in the XPath spec as to exactly what counts as a line ending. xsl:stream is only for use with XML input.
