Subject: Re: [xsl] Anyone have XSLT that generates XML showing a Windows folder structure? From: "Dimitre Novatchev dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 13 May 2020 19:55:44 -0000 |
Hi Roger, There are too-many characters that are allowed in a directory-name that will break the syntax for an XML element name: seems like any character except: (0 to 31)!codepoints-to-string(.), \, / , ?,:, *, ", <, >, | So you can have commas, whitespace (consecutive spaces), %, ;, +, &, etc. For reference see for example this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file , Therefore, a safer way to represent a directory structure would be to make the file and directory names values, not names. Even in this case, the & (ampersand) character must be watched for and escaped properly. Also, given an XML file in this format, that is believed to represent a directory, may actually not represent a real windows filesystem directory, as there are reserved names that have special meaning and are not allowed to be used: CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9. Also avoid these names followed immediately by an extension; for example, NUL.txt One more thing: you might have a problem if the length of a full filepath exceeds 250. HTH, :) Cheers, Dimitre On Wed, May 13, 2020 at 5:52 AM Costello, Roger L. costello@xxxxxxxxx < xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Folks, > > Do you have XSLT code that does this: Given a root folder, show all the > subfolders and files within it, repeat for each subfolder. > > Example, for this folder structure: > > root > persons > local > JohnDoe.xml > MarySmith.xml > remote > BillAnderson.xml > > the XSLT code outputs this XML: > > <root> > <persons> > <local> > <john>JoeDoe.xml</john> > <mary>MarySmith.xml</mary> > </local> > <remote> > <bill>BillAnderson.xml</bill> > </remote> > </persons> > </root> > > If someone has already done this, would you mind sharing it, please? > > /Roger
