XML to CSV using XSLT help.
- by Adam Kahtava
I'd like to convert XML into CSV using an XSLT, but when applying the XSL from the SO thread titled XML To CSV XSLT against my input:
<WhoisRecord>
<DomainName>127.0.0.1</DomainName>
<RegistryData>
<AbuseContact>
<Email>[email protected]</Email>
<Name>Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Number</Name>
<Phone>+1-310-301-5820</Phone>
</AbuseContact>
<AdministrativeContact i:nil="true"/>
<BillingContact i:nil="true"/>
<CreatedDate/>
<RawText>...</RawText>
<Registrant>
<Address>4676 Admiralty Way, Suite 330</Address>
<City>Marina del Rey</City>
<Country>US</Country>
<Name>Internet Assigned Numbers Authority</Name>
<PostalCode>90292-6695</PostalCode>
<StateProv>CA</StateProv>

</TechnicalContact>
<UpdatedDate>2010-04-14</UpdatedDate>
<ZoneContact i:nil="true"/>
</RegistryData>
</WhoisRecord>
I end up with:
[email protected] Corporation for Assigned Names and Number+1-310-301-5820,

[email protected] Corporation for Assigned Names and Number+1-310-301-5820,

My problem is that, the resulting transformation is missing nodes (like the DomainName element containing the IP address) and some child nodes are concatenated without commas (like the children of AbuseContact).
I'd like to see all the XML output in CVS form, and strings like: "[email protected] Corporation for Assigned Names and Number+1-310-301-5820," delimited by commas.
My XSL is pretty rusty. Your help is appreciated. :)
Here's the XSL I'm using:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" encoding="iso-8859-1"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*" />
<xsl:template match="/*/child::*">
<xsl:for-each select="child::*">
<xsl:if test="position() != last()"><xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>, </xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="position() = last()"><xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/><xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
