RE: [xsl] Generating a CSV file using XSLT

["Ian Vaughan" <i.vaughan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Any idea of how I could transform the XML doc into the following layout
below in the csv file ??

With the SchemeName at the start of the .csv file then the column titles
followed by the relevant rows of information from the xml doc.


Ie.

SchemeName - DATA

UniqueRecordID  RegistrationNumber  RegisteredName Address1, Address2,
Address3, Address4,PostCode,DateComplete,DescriptionOfWorkItems...
2,02,Name,StreetName, , ,Town,SA128JW,20/01/2005,Shower,New Unit
3,03,Name,StreetName,Road , ,Town,SA128JW,20/01/2005,Shower,New Unit

2,02,NameStreet Name Town SA128JW ,20/01/2005,Shower,New Unit

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

<xsl:template match="BuildingRecord">

Hi,

Maybe you could make more use of templates to get the same result:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:apd="http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/people/AddressAndPersonalDetails";>

<xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:apply-templates select="//BuildingRecord"/> </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="BuildingRecord">
	<xsl:apply-templates select=".//text()"/>
	<xsl:text>
	</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="text()">
	<xsl:if test="position() &gt; 1
"><xsl:text>,</xsl:text></xsl:if>
	<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/> </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="apd:*//text()">
	<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/><xsl:text>
</xsl:text> </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


output:

2,02,NameStreet Name Town SA128JW ,20/01/2005,Shower,New Unit
