Re^3: Using XML::XSLT to convert XML to CSV

I'm not sure what the problem could be (and I don't have a windows perl available at the moment) but this works for me on linux:

use strict;
use XML::XSLT;

my $xmlFilename = '/home/joost/input.xml';
my $xslFilename = '/home/joost/input.xsl';
(my $outFilename = $xmlFilename) =~ s/\.xml$/\.csv/i;

my $xslt = XML::XSLT->new($xslFilename, warnings => 1);
$xslt->transform($xmlFilename);
print $xslt->toString;

Can't help you much further than that, though.

update: did you update the XML modules, or where they already at the latest version?

You can check by doing

perl -MXML::XSLT -e'print "$XML::XSLT::VERSION\n"'
[download]

and similar for XML::Parser

When I paste the above in my Windows XP command line to check the version, I get: `Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1.` [download] However, I put this in a script file: `use XML::XSLT; print "$XML::XSLT::VERSION\n";` [download] and then it prints: `0.48` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hmm, windows shell escaping is a mystery to me. Anyway, 0.48 is the same version I've got. update: you can probably get away with `perl -MXML::XSLT -e'print $XML::XSLT::VERSION'` [download] "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply] [d/l]

Ok, that's also the same as mine. Under normal windows semantics `"C:/path/to/file.xml"` [download] should be acceptable, provided you've actually got permissions to read that file (which probably includes read access to the directories above it) You can try passing an XML::DOM object instead of a file (XML::XSLT supports both): `# stuff here.. my $parser = new XML::DOM::Parser; my $doc = $parser->parsefile ("c:/path/to/file.xml"); $xslt->transform($doc); # proceed` [download] "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"
