Re: [xsl] Applying XSL transformation to non-xml (but fixed structure) file

The text is Drools rules, generated from a decision table originally defined in Excel. For any particular Excel sheet structure the rules will be rather uniform, so full parsing shouldn't be necessary. (BTW, Drools comes with an antlr grammar for these DRL files.) IMHO, using XSLT on texts like these isn't the right choice - see Ruud's suggestions. And, before I'm admonished, all of this is probably better discussed on the Drools user list ;-) -W On 2 June 2010 16:07, Ruud Grosmann <rdgon@xxxxxx> wrote: > > Ruud Grosmann wrote: >> >> Christian Schouten wrote: >>> >>> Hi all, >>> >>> I need to apply an XSL transformation to a non-xml file that has a fixed >>> structure. >>> The goal is to read in the file, add/edit/delete a record and write it >>> back. > > Anyway, I suggested him to consider to use a tool like perl or ruby.
