RE: [xsl] xsl transform

["Philippe LAPLANCHE" <philippe.laplanche@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to Joris and Michael, their solution works like a charm!

To David:
The input format may look nicer but it also consumes (A LOT) more bandwidth
when you send huge data files with eventually long elements names. And I don't
mind if the order of attributes changes. The xml parser I use doesn't rely on
the order to get the values.

You can get the attribute names you want using

<xsl:for-each select="row">
  <xsl:variable name="aname"><xsl:number format="a"/></xsl:variable>
  <xsl:attribute name="{$aname}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
