XML to Text file

[neeludhiman]

Hi friends,
My problem is very simple. But I really need you help. I want to convert an XML file into plaintext format. e.g; I have following contents in XML file :

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE persons SYSTEM "http://mail.persistent.co.in/v1/addrbook.dtd">
<persons count="13"> 
<person ref="6024732a-1c38-102a-922a-0007e9315819">
<cn>Satish Agrawal</cn>
<category unfiled="yes">3</category>
<primaryphone>telephonenumber</primaryphone>

</person>
<person ref="0dbb27fa-20ed-102a-9922-0007e9315819">

<category unfiled="yes">3</category>

</person>
<person ref="d141cc6e-20fd-102a-8307-0007e9315819">

<mail>[e-mail]</mail>
<telephonenumber primary="yes"/>
<nickname>prerana</nickname>
<displayname>prerana</displayname>
</person>
</persons>
 

And I want the outputs in following format (For each record ) :

Person 1:
Name : Satish Agrawal
Surname : Agrawal
UUID : 6024732a-1c38-102a-922a-0007e9315819
E mail : [e-mail]

and so on ...

Please suggest me what should I use. I have tried libwww and libxml libraries, but could not find much. Please guide.
Thanks.

Use XSLT which converts XML into CSV or TXT format using XSL.
I guess , this should resolve u'r problem.
