    Specifying a Converter URI

    To specify a converter: URI, you need to specify

    Example - Converter URI with a DataDirect XML Converters

    A converter: URI that invokes the DataDirect XML Converter for comma-separated values (CSV) to convert the three.txt file in the Stylus Studio\examples directory to XML might look like this: 

    converter:CSV:newline=lf:first=yes:?file:///c:/StylusStudio/examples/
three.txt

    The instructions to the XML Converters engine from this instance of the converter:URI are described the following table.

    Instruction
    Converter URI String
    Use the Comma-Separated Values XML Converter converter
    converter:csv
    The line separator in the source file is a line feed
    newline=lf
    The values in the first row of the source file should be used to supply field names
    first=yes
    The source file is three.txt
    file:///c:/StylusStudio/examples/three.txt
    Table 24. URI Scheme Example

    Properties that use default values (a comma is the default separator character for the CSV XML Converter, for example) do not have to be specified in a converter:URI.

    Example - Converter URI with a Custom XML Conversion Definition

    A converter URI that references a custom XML conversion definition might look like this: 

    converter:///myConverter.conv?file:inventory.txt

    This converter uses myConverter.conv to convert the file inventory.txt to some format (specified in the custom XML conversion definition when it was built using the Custom XML Conversion Definition Editor in Stylus Studio). Note that individual configuration properties are not specified - they are part of the definition described in the .conv file.
