creating xslt style sheet for exporting data out of fmpro 10

TASC
in XML/XSL

Featured Replies

Hi,

we are working with another software vendor and need to provide data to their database in the form of an xml file. The xml file needs to be in a specific format. I assume I need to create an xslt stlyle sheet to convert the data in the format they require. How do I do this? I have tried to look at a number of resources both online and on my filemaker database (examples provided by FileMaker) and I can't figure out how to do this. Most of the documentation I found was converting information to an html table. I don't require this. I just require an xml file with the data in it.

My database has three fields (for the sake of simplicity).

Article, Author and Title

here is an example of what the xml file needs to look like :(

How do I do this?

Thanks,

Constance

Try the attached (assumes exporting 2 fields: Author and Title, in that order, using FMPXMLRESULT grammar).
