flat file to XML file

Hi All,

Is there any API which helps in converting flat file content into an XML
file using XSLT-FO or XSLT?

Or 

One solution is to write java program to do this which is tedious thing
I want any other way to do this task.

Please help me.



Thanks and Regards
Bhaskar K S

Part of your problem here is choice of langauge.  Perl -- along with 
suitable modules like XML::Writer -- would fly through a task like this. 
  If you don't know Perl yet, this is a fine excuse to learn it.

If you can find a book on Perl _4_, that would be ideal.  A lot of Perl 
5 books get caught up in its new features, most of which have nothing to 
do with text processing.  Perl 4 was much better focused on tasks like 
yours, so the books were as well.

Hi,

If your file has some structure then you can do that with XSLT 2.0. An 
example that converts a tab delimited file to XML using an XSLT 2.0 
stylesheet is here:

Hope that helps,
George
