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.

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.

Dear All, somehow I remember that such or similar question was discussed already somewhere. But I can't find it anymore. I have a template calling itself. As long it goes deeper into the hierarchy (by the key) I can set the CurrentY parameter by itself + some constant correctly. Hence which each call the CurrentY gets bigger. But when the template reaches a leave and the caller is poped from

Hi, As a follow on from an earlier post I have another question about xslt. Is it possible to create the stylsheet programatically? Is this sensible? In the first phase I needed to map element name from inbound xml to my internal elements to standardize disparate input. Now I could just create an xslt stylesheet for each possible inbound format and be done, but I think it would be powerful to be able store this mapping in a database and...

Hello all, I am using .NET XSLT to transform an XML into another XML file. All this is fine with small files, but when tested with big files (30MB) it is taking between 1hr-2hrs to just transform the file. Here is the code snippet: XPathDocument xdoc = new XPathDocument(fs); XPathNavigator nav = xdoc.CreateNavigator(); xslt.Transform(nav, null, strWriter, null);

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
