In XSLT 2.0 you can:

* use unparsed-text() to read the non-XML text file

* use tokenize() to split it into lines

* use xsl:analyze-string to parse each line and generate XML output.

For an example that tackles a rather more complex problem, but includes all
the techniques needed to solve this one, see
