[xsl] Converting XML to Fixed Length Text Data

["Garvin Franco" <garvin_franco@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ladies and Gents, I need some guidance .  I searched the archives and found 
some info but it was not sufficient. Basically I want to convert an xml file 
to a fixed length data file.  The following is a sample of what I am trying 
to do

Position of data for output file:
field: child1     start 1    length 7
field: att1       start 12   length 5
field: child2     start 27   length 12
field: child3     start 39   length 15
field: att2       start 56   length 3

Input:
<parent att1="foo">
<child1>aChild</child1>
<child2>anotherChild</child2>
<child3 att2="bar">yetAnotherChild</child3>
</parent>

Output:
aChild     foo            anotherChildyetAnotherChild  bar

I would really appreciate any help on this.

Thanks
