XSLT function

[wintergreen]

Here's a scriptmaster function I'm using to transform an XML file with supplied XSLT (as a string). This maybe useful for anyone needing to generate an XSL transform inside filemaker (as I am currently doing). Hope someone finds it useful!

XSLTransform ( pathToXMLFile ; xslt )

import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory

import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult

import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource



if( pathToXMLFile == null ) throw new Exception("You must supply a pathToXMLFile parameter");



def factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance()

def transformer = factory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(new StringReader(xslt)))

Writer outWriter = new StringWriter();



transformer.transform(new StreamSource(new File( pathToXMLFile )), new StreamResult(outWriter))



return outWriter

I just tried it and it worked great! Amazing, thanks a lot for posting this!

Fantastic stuff. Thanks!

Great! If I want to run the transform and save the content in a container field with an assigned filename.

For example, if the xml and xslt are getting from two text fields, run the function and put the result into a container field with a pre assigned filename.

Would this be fine? If someone can show me hints, that would be prefect.

Many thanks,
