Re: [xsl] Converting XML to CSV - how to eliminate output whitespace and blank lines?

["ohaya ohaya@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Hi Norm,

Thanks! Your suggestion was close, but it also removed all the newlines:

customer,1234schemaName,schema_nameschemaVersion,1.0PN_ID,1111111111PN_ID,111
1111ADM_ORG_CD,urn:NORM:DEPTentUserRoles,a:b:c

But I was able to add <xsl:text> to get it to work:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="text" encoding="UTF-8" disable-output-escaping="YES"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

<xsl:template match="*[not(*)]">
 <xsl:value-of select="local-name()"/>
 <xsl:text>&#44;</xsl:text>
 <xsl:value-of select="."/>
 <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

And then, I got:

customer,1234
schemaName,schema_name
schemaVersion,1.0
PN_ID,1111111111
PN_ID,1111111
ADM_ORG_CD,urn:NORM:DEPT
entUserRoles,a:b:c

Thanks!

Jim

Try adding <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>. I think that will fix it,
though my XSLT 1.0 is a bit rusty these days.
