I have a file with the following representation:

Joe|Leduc|34 avenue|Montreal

need to take the file and transform is into XML like:

<record>
  <fname>Joe</fname>
  <lname>Leduc</lname>
  <street>34 avenue</street>
  <city>Montreal</city>
</record>

I would thank anyone in advance for any help or ideas? Thanks fellow programmers.

1. create a class say Person:

class Person {
 String fname;
 String lname;
 String street;
 String city;
}

2. parse the file and populates data read into a Person object.

3. pass this Person object to a XMLGenerator class which create an XML files.

4. The XMLGenerator class create the XML file using reflection. In that way, it supports any object that u pass to it.

i've a class that does something similar to XMLGenerator. it creates a DOM document instead of a XML file.

if u are interested, i can send u the src.

Take the previous example. I just need some help to start coding. Thanks.

For creating your file, you can also use the following UNIX shell script line :

cat yourfile|sed '/|/s//<\/fname><lname>/' | sed '/|/s//<\/lname><street>/'|sed '/|/<\/street><city>/'|awk '{print "<record><fname>" $0 "</city></record>"}

It's quick and easy isn't it ?

Thanks for your help. But I need to do it in a Java Application.
