Tool to create XSLT templates

I will try to explain a little which is the functionality that we are
looking for.

We need a tool to create XSL templates able to transform plane text to
XML.

As source we have strings where fields are concatenated one after
another. Fields are of different length.
We need to map these fields into defined schemas. This task implies to
split source data indicating position and length for each field.

I have downloaded the trial version of Altova Mapforce 2008 but
unfortunately the tool they have for split text files (called
FlexText) can not be used if generating XSLT, only is available to
generate JAVA, C# source code.

Do you know any software able to create this kind if XSL templates?

Thank you.

Francesc

But XSLT transforms a tree, usually created by parsing XML, to XML or
HTML or plain text. I don't see how you would apply templates to plain
text. You would need to write a parser first for your plain text format
to emit XML but then you would not need XSLT any longer.
