Hi ,

I have a XML output file in one string as below

"<student><Firstname>mike</firstname><lastname>brown</lastname></student><student><Firstname>rob</firstname><lastname>donty</lastname></student>"

I need to split the above file on basis of parent tag i.e. <Student> and have the o/p in below format i.e. for each record one row.

Row1<student><Firstname>mike</firstname><lastname>brown</lastname></student>

Row2<student><Firstname>rob</firstname><lastname>donty</lastname></student>


Thanks in Advance for help

You might have trouble reading this in DataStage if it is a large file. You are on Unix so the easiest way would be a Unix awk command that adds and end of line character to the end of the </STUDENT> string. Can't tell you the exact command, don't know awk that well.

Give the DTD in XML Reader and pass the required output in an XML Writer or Seq file.

I guess you must have the XML Input/output stage installed on your system, Once you have the file Use the XML Metadata Importer and Import the Table Definition for the file and then you could use the XML Output stage to retive the values by passing the appropriate parameters.

Hope this helps.

Thanks & Regards
