hi all,
TASK: i want to exctract certain data from a xml-file, which contains
programdetails of several tv channels, and put it into a txt-file (one textfile
for each tvchannel). the programm should read from the xml file the data
starting from 6:00 am of the next day till 5:59 am of the day after that. (this
will be executed once a day for every following day.)
QUESTIONS: can my problem be solved with xsl/xslt, or do i need another
programminglanguage (vbscript or c)? how will get xsl sysdate? there are 22
tvchannels in the xmlfile, for every channel i need a different textfile. how
to pass parameter?
thanx!
