Custom output format using XSL Transforms

RSS

FileLocator Pro provides the built in export formats:

Text
Comma Separated (CSV)
Tab Separated
HTML
XML

However, it is possible to completely customize the output format using XSL Transforms. Some sample transforms are provided in the Sample Transforms sub folder of the FileLocator Pro installation directory.

A simple transform to only output the names of files is shown below:

{{{{

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- Full name only Transform
    Copyright (C) Mythicsoft Ltd 2008. All rights reserved.
    
    Produces output that contains just the full path to the file (including the 
    file name), each on a new line.
    -->

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
	xmlns:rslt="http://www.mythicsoft.com/FileLocator_16Aug2005"
        version="1.0">

  <xsl:output method="text" indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="//rslt:file"/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="rslt:file">
    <xsl:value-of select="rslt:path"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="rslt:name"/>
    <xsl:text>&#13;&#10;</xsl:text>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

}}}}
