required input, windows EOL problem

New page

== required input, windows EOL problem ==

Weird, I can make it run invoking "java -jar saxon8.jar", but not "java net.sf.saxon.Transform", as the software (Saxon 8.9J) itself recommends... Anyway, the invocation in the example looks like it might work for a binary version of saxon, if there ever was one, or for an alias, perhaps. Let me change it to what works, i.e. "java -jar saxon8.jar".

Also, on windows (it looks like the EOL is an issue), the last item of every row gets eaten, unless it is quoted. So, for my test file:

<pre>
this,is,a,test,really,is
This, is a, variation, on a, test
"This","is","another","variation.","lastitem"
</pre>

I receive:

<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<table>
<row>
<cell>this</cell>
<cell>is</cell>
<cell>a</cell>
<cell>test</cell>
<cell>really</cell>
</row>
<row>
<cell>This</cell>
<cell>is a</cell>
<cell>variation</cell>
<cell>on a</cell>
</row>
<row>
<cell>This</cell>
<cell>is</cell>
<cell>another</cell>
<cell>variation.</cell>
<cell>lastitem</cell>
</row>
</table>
</pre>

And if I drop the quotes around "lastitem", it vanishes. [[User:Piotr Banski|Piotr]] 11:53, 2 October 2007 (BST)
