I am a newbie to XML and I have an assignment to create CSV file using XML? I have the below XSLT code and it returns the values in CSV, now I want to add the column headings to the file as well, how would I go about doing this? Below is my code:

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

<xsl:template match="NewDataSet">
<xsl:apply-templates select="Table"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Table">
<xsl:for-each select="*">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:if test="position() != last()">
<xsl:value-of select="','"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!

Hello,

I think first you should go through an XSLT tutorial.

Note tested as you did not provide a sample XML but something like below:

Code: Select all


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

  <xsl:output method="text"/>



  <xsl:template match="NewDataSet">

    <xsl:apply-templates select="Table" mode="header"/>

    <xsl:apply-templates select="Table"/>

  </xsl:template>



  <xsl:template match="Table" mode="header">

    <xsl:for-each select="*[1]">

      <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>

      <xsl:if test="position() != last()">

        <xsl:value-of select="','"/>

      </xsl:if>

    </xsl:for-each>

    <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>

  </xsl:template>



  <xsl:template match="Table">

    <xsl:for-each select="*">

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

      <xsl:if test="position() != last()">

        <xsl:value-of select="','"/>

      </xsl:if>

    </xsl:for-each>

    <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>

  </xsl:template>





</xsl:stylesheet>
