Hi there,
I am new to XSLT but saw your post and decided to attempt a solution,
mainly as an exercise for myself.

The responses you have received have better solutions than this one, but
I offer a novice's solution, which is neither elegant or flexible


(sorry for the formatting)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="2.0">
  <xsl:output indent="yes"/>
  <!-- file location-->
  <xsl:variable name="in"

select="unparsed-text('file:///c:/sean/xsl/commadelimited/comma_delimite
d.txt')"/>
  <xsl:template name="initial" match="/">
    <xsl:element name="values">
       <!-- Iterate through the lines in the file -->
       <xsl:for-each select="tokenize($in,'\r\n')">
          <xsl:variable name="line" select="."/>
          <!--
            Analyze the entire line and break into captured
groups
            (by using ( ) around the individual pieces
          -->
          <xsl:analyze-string select="$line"

regex="([0-9]+),\s*([0-9]+),\s*([A-Z]+),\s*([0-9]+),\s*([A-Z]+),\s*([A-Z
])+,s*([A-Z]+),\s*([A-Z]+)">
            <xsl:matching-substring>
               <xsl:element name="line">
                  <!--
                  This just puts out the line, was included
for testing purposed
                  <xsl:element name="RawData">
                   <xsl:value-of select="regex-group(0)"/>
                  </xsl:element>

Subject: csv to html via xslt or xslt2 task ?

Hi ppl,

I have a few rows of comma delimited csv file.


1204823515990,2091,Cl,200,OK,M,text,true

1204823518623,828,Su,200,OK,M,text,true

1204823519500,66,Se,200,OK,M,text,true

1204823519604,42,Se,OK,M,text,true

and I like to transform it into html with xslt or xslt2. Is that
possible ?

Could someone provide a simple example to manipulate 2 field in a
stylesheet
? I'm new to this hence

such a question.

Thanks
