transforming to text file

[agashirazi]

Hey,

Can someone please tell me, what functions do I use to transform an XML to a text file? I created an XSL shylesheet file, but it throws an error saying that the for-each statement is not placed right. But when I use the same structure with the HTML tags, it works fine.

Here is my code:

********************************************

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

<xsl:for-each select="NSF_QUERY/QUERYITEM">
<xsl:value-of select="TITLE"/>
<xsl:value-of select="ABSTRACT/ABSTRACT_UNPARSED"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Thanks a lot guys for my previous responses, really appreciat it.

Hi Aga,

You should place your code inside a template. Try something like:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

    <xsl:template match="/">

        <xsl:for-each select="NSF_QUERY/QUERYITEM">

            <xsl:value-of select="TITLE"/>

            <xsl:value-of select="ABSTRACT/ABSTRACT_UNPARSED"/>

        </xsl:for-each>

    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
