Re: [Servingxml-help] Flat file structure validation

[Daniel P. <dan...@sy...>]

Hello Ravi,

I think you'd have to transform the flat file to XML and express the =
rules in an XML Schema, using the msv:schemaValidator (previously =
msv:msvFilter) to validate the XML.  Alternatively, you could write a =
custom record filter in Java, and buffer enough records until you could =
determine whether they were valid, and discard them or throw an =
exception if you find an error.  But other than that, the tool doesn't =
provide anything special for validating groups of records, as opposed to =
individual records.

Best regards,
Daniel

  Hi

  I am trying to use servingxml to validate and transform flat files to =
xml. I am wondering if this toolkit can help validate the flat file =
which looks as follows:

  Every row is a record with position #1 as record type. Position #2-5 =
as filenumber and the rest as misc fields. I want to validate that for =
every filenumber, there exists atleast 1 E record followed by 0 or more =
S records.=20

  E1001FIELD0
  S1001FIELD1FIELD2
  S1001FIELD3FIELD4
  E1002FIELDA
  S1002FIELDBFIELDC

  Thanks
  Ravi
