File Support

Stylus Studio's Convert to XML module makes it easy to build adapters for many non-XML file types, including text, binary, and EDI. You can let Stylus Studio use a set of rules to determine the type, encoding, layout of the input file, or you can specify these settings manually, as shown in Figure 160.

Stylus Studio's heuristics are also used to determine the field separator character being used (if any), the delimiting character being used (if any), and so on.
