Subject: RE: [xsl] parsing post script From: "Karthikeyan Ramnath" <karthikeyanr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2003 09:57:53 +0530 |
Actually I dont need to render a PS file, but instead I've got to parse an existing file and try to make sense out of it, as in, I should be able to extract the data. How tough would that be with XSLT and what other approach could I follow. Right now, I'm manually reading the values enclosed in brackets()... which is only a hack to get to the data... kr. --------------------------------- The will to do, the soul to dare > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of David > Carlisle > Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 10:24 PM > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [xsl] parsing post script > > > > > Guys, I require to parse a PS file.
