The following code relates to the earlier post and shows the processing of a concatenated XML file using an XSLT. This has been tested using a Xalan on the command line but this is available as XML::Xalan.

Example of concatenated XML reports:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Report>
    <opt>
      <Agent_Class>Backup</Agent_Class>
      <MD>dirA</MD>
      <Agent_Instance>NetBackup</Agent_Instance>
      <Date>2003/12/08</Date>
      <Server>ServerABC</Server>
      <Instance_Detail>Backup Problems ServerABC:57</Instance_Detail>
      <Time>08:04:58</Time>
      <Header>X-CALL</Header>
      <State>CRITICAL</State>
    </opt>
    <opt>
      <Agent_Class>Backup</Agent_Class>
      <MD>dirA</MD>
      <Agent_Instance>NetBackup</Agent_Instance>
      <Date>2003/12/08</Date>
      <Server>ServerABC</Server>
      <Instance_Detail>Backup Problems ServerABC:57</Instance_Detail>
      <Time>08:04:58</Time>
      <Header>X-CALL</Header>
      <State>CRITICAL</State>
    </opt>
    <opt>
      <Agent_Class>Backup</Agent_Class>
      <MD>dirB</MD>
      <Agent_Instance>NetBackup</Agent_Instance>
      <Date>2003/12/08</Date>
      <Server>ServerABC</Server>
      <Instance_Detail>Backup Problems ServerABC:57</Instance_Detail>
      <Time>09:00:58</Time>
      <Header>X-CALL</Header>
      <State>Nominal</State>
    </opt>
</Report>

Example of XSLT to do the conversion:

<xsl:transform version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" />
<xsl:preserve-space elements="*"/>
<!-- Transforms the XML report into an HTML report -->

<xsl:template match="/">

<html>
<head>
<title>Server Status Report</title>
</head>
<body>

<xsl:comment>Generated file</xsl:comment>

<h1>Server Status Report</h1>
<p/>

<table border="1">

<xsl:for-each select="Report/opt">
    <xsl:sort select="MD"/>

<tr>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="MD" /></td>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="Server" />&#160;<xsl:value-of select="Ag
+ent_Class" /></td>
    <td>&#160;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>&#160;</td>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="Instance_Detail" /></td>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="Date" />&#160;<xsl:value-of select="Date
+" /></td>

</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>

</body>
</html>

</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
