hi all,
i want to exctract certain data from a xml-file, which contains programdetails of several tv channels (see a examle below), and put it into txt-files (for each tv channel one txt-file). the programm should read from the xml file the data starting from 6:00 am of the following day till 5:59 am of the day after that.
i am new to xml, xsl/xslt. my question is now, if my problem can be solved with xslt only, or if i need another programminglanguage (which one?) for extracting data according the time? as there are 22 tv channels, i don´t want to write an xsl-file for each of these...is parameterpassing possible with xslt? which tool you would suggest?
thanks a lot in advance! any kind of help welcome!
regards, milena schrevel

it depends on the XML date structure wether you can handle all with *one*
transformation, but guessing you TV channels are all wrapped in a
"RESOURCE" element with the given structure the example below may be
good enough.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="RESOURCE">
<xsl:value-of select="EVENTLIST/@servicename"/><xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="EVENTLIST/EVENT/STARTTIME/@date"/><xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="EVENTLIST/EVENT/STARTTIME/@time"/><xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="EVENTLIST/EVENT/SHORTEVENTDESC/EVENTNAME/text()"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
