Is there any component or way to convert html files to xml document? I am nore interested in body and title tags. Everything in <body> of html can stay in <body> tag of xml Cheers.
Hi
There is no component can be used to convert html file to xml file directly, you have to extract records from html file and then insert them into xml file.
Consider the following job design to extract desired records from html file:
tFileInputFullRow--main-->tFilterRow-->tExtractRegexFields.
tFileInputFullRow: read each row of html file one by one
tFilterRow: filter the desired row, for example: row startsWith <body>
tExtractRegexFields: use regular expresstion to extract fields

Hi
i tested to read a html file using tFileInputFullRow and I don't have any problem, can you please send me an example file for testing.

Thanks..I restarted it and it works fine. However, when I try input_row.htmlstring.startsWith("<body>") in tfilterrow component then I see only first line. Seems that it breaks when there is new line within body tag. How can I solve this?
if you want to convert an xml file to an html one, you need just to use an xsl transformation.
you may use this model as a transformation job
tFileOutputXML -----> tFileList (in case you want to do this for a group of files) ----> tXSLT
this works, i already tried it.
Another way to go from XML -> HTML, CSV, and PDF is to use a Jasper Report. This video shows how to use the Jasper Report IDE "iReport" to build a report off of an XML document. The iReport product can be called from a Talend component.
