Topic: XML Comparison API
Posted: Tuesday, May 15, 2012 6:43:05 PM
Does DiffDog offer some form of API so that it could be used programmatically? For instance if I wanted to write a C# app that compared two xml files and displayed the differences.
Topic: Adding additional comments or metadata to xslt
Posted: Tuesday, December 14, 2010 3:08:13 PM
Is there any way I can set a property in the MapForce map that will persist itself to the xslt as a comment? I'm thinking I would like to be able to specify a date compiled or a version number...

Thanks

Topic: Replacing a character with another character in XSLT 1.0
Posted: Monday, December 13, 2010 9:25:59 PM
Lets say I have a string like so: 123-45-6789 and I want to replace the - with a space. How would I best accomplish this in XSLT 1.0. Right now I'm thinking I would have to split the string into three pieces and then concat them back together... Any ideas?

Thanks

Is it necessary to Un-install the current version of XmlSpy, Mapforce, etc when I want to install a new version?
Topic: Refreshing Input XML File
Posted: Wednesday, February 3, 2010 3:04:13 PM
I've noticed that when I have an input file specified for and XSD and I change the contents of the input file, those changes arent reflected in mapforce until I reload the mfd... has anyone else ran into this?
Topic: String to Long altering value
Posted: Wednesday, February 3, 2010 2:27:33 PM
Here is the reply I received from Altova. Just FYI.

I can only imagine that this has to do with the fact that internally the xpath datatype number stores the value as a floating point number and that this might account for the value not being exactly the same as the string passed to the number function. I don't think this is a bug however as I tested the transformation with another engine as well (msxml) and got the same result. I will have to enquire with the developer responsible for the xpath implementation whether he can clarify the result. Is it possible for you to use xslt 2.0 as a workaround or change the datatype in the target schema of your mapping from long to string?

In the end I ended up changing the type of the field in the destination schema.

Hello, My source xsd has a field typed as a string... I am directly mapping this field to my destination xsd whose field is typed as a long... I've noticed that the number in the source field get slightly modified when it gets mapped to the destination field when I use run the XSLT. Any Idea why this happens?
Topic: Name of the generated xslt
Posted: Thursday, January 28, 2010 1:00:09 PM
I understand that I can design multiple mappings in the same file but there is no way to specify the name of each XSLT that will be generated?
