You might want to check out the open source ServingXML tool, downloadable from http://servingxml.sourceforge.net/.  It supports a wide range of flat/XML, XML/flat, flat/flat, and XML/XML transformations, using an extensible mark up vocabulary to specify the transformation.  It supports csv files, positional files, COBOL packed-decimal fields, variable-length blocked spanned (VBS) records, repeating groups, EDIFACT, binary fields, etc. and the list is constantly expanding in response to requests from a steadily growing user base.

Subject: [xml-dev] text to xml conversion


Hello everyone,

    I want to ask one question about covering text to xml file. Is there any way to attach a schema to a text document and parse it into xml according the rules defined in the schema? Can I find such kind a tool, otherwise I plan to write one myself. Please give me some references. Thanks.

Yang
