XML to RTF parsing

[Ilya Dyoshin]

Hi all

There is an XML file, formed from dataset.

I want to see this in the RTF-document like a set of tables.
something like:

Table1 name
+------------------------+------------------------+--------------------+
| Table1.Column1 name | Table1.Column 2 name | Table1.Column3 name|
+------------------------+------------------------+--------------------+
|Column1.Row1 data | column2.row1 data | column3.Row1 data |
+------------------------+------------------------+--------------------+
|Column1.Row2 data | column2.row2 data | column3.Row2 data |
+------------------------+------------------------+--------------------+

Table2 name
+------------------------+------------------------+
| Table2.Column1 name | Table2.Column 2 name |
+------------------------+------------------------+
|Column1.Row1 data | column2.row1 data |
+------------------------+------------------------+
|Column1.Row2 data | column2.row2 data |
+------------------------+------------------------+

and so on.


Can someone give me code samples how to do it?

Thanks all!

Hi Ilya,

You might consider using XSLT to generate RTF.
Sorry, no samples...

--Ilya - like Miha mentions, you would probably want to use XSLT b/c it will
support this translation. XSLT is one of those skills IMHO that has a
little bit of a learning curve up front (like Regular Expressions) but it
pays for itself in droves in the future. Suffice to say that you can parse
stuff a zillion ways, you can take those parsed tokens and use a RTF writer
class to write the RTF, you can do a lot of things. But if you take a few
steps back and focus on XSLT, you'll have a clean elegant solution + you'll
have a skill that you Will be glad you picked up , in the near future This
should help get you started:
