POST processing information

[Harold DeWayne]

Is it possible to modify a file after merged phase and before the outfile stage?   I've FINALLY got a translation working (an X12 204 to XML) and I successfully got multiple layers of loops at the Stop Level (Stop/Reference, Stop/Note, Stop/Date, Stop/Location, Stop/Goods) so I feel really good about this, but I need to modify the output file to get rid of the "ns0:" Namespace information (with SED maybe) and I need to update the XML information at my LoadTender level in the XML file.

I'm trying to accomplish this with a route script and the postmerge function (using regular expressions [yes I imported re, os and system], or with line.replace() either one ) , but I cannot seem to get the file to change.  I'm sure this is not an uncommon request to make a change to the file after translation.




Thanks in advance (ANYONE).

BTW:  The reason I want to insert it at this point, I want the outfile processing to show in the log.

Hi Harold,
This definitely should be possible with postprocessing. I have just updated the wiki to add an example as it only showed preprocessing. Maybe you are missing the copyta step?

If you want to specify the namespace to a certain value, this can be done in the grammar.

Is it not showing now?
You think it should?

Sorry... I meant the extra processing step between Merged and Outfile...

hi Harold,

what is not clear to me:
- you just want to use a specific xml namespace (and postprocessing would be a way to achive this)
- you want to use postprocessing

kind regards,
henk-jan

if I remember correctly I jsut added this in the grammar as attributes, and filled these in the mapping.

(I am a bit too busy to look at this in more detail, sorry)

Thanks... I modified the grammar to take out all the (unnecessary) parts of the names, then I added in the attributes for xmlns, xmlns:xsi and xsi:schemaLocation and everything works flawlessly!!  And WITHOUT post-processing the file!  I expected an issue with the colon (:) in the attribute name but I didn't think about the fact that they're quoted names... what a surprise.

Hopefully this thread can be of assistance to someone else down the road.


Thanks again,

There are no plugins handles x12 204 message out there http://sourceforge.net/projects/bots/files/plugins/

Is it possible for you to share the mapping script you wrote as a plugin?

Thanks a lot!
