Subject: cygwinized XSL processor? (or sed for path transform?)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Is there a cygwinized XSL processor? What I mean, why I ask:

Occasionally I need to strip cruft out of a bunch (~1k) of xml files.
Since they're distributed throughout a filesystem, and some additional
processing is required, I use a bash script to get the input files.
Feeding them to the processor should be trivial, but unfortunately the
only command-line XSL processors I know about are Instant Saxon (from

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=29872

) and Xalan (from

http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/

). Instant Saxon is native windows, which is nice for this
application, except that it chokes on the cygwin paths emitted by my
script. Running Xalan from the commandline (like

java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in <file> -xsl <file> -out <file>

) would involve running a java, which (I suspect) would also choke on
cygwin paths. As a result, my script does a lot of path translations
like

cygpath="/g/eclipse/builds/20030311_1000-WB210-AD-V51D-W2/eclipse/plugins"
winpath="g:\\eclipse\\builds\\20030311_1000-WB210-AD-V51D-W2\\eclipse\\plugins"

and it doesn't iterate over the paths. (Not a big deal, but it offends
my software aesthetics :-)

If I had a cygwinized XSL processor I wouldn't hafta do this. Does
anyone know where I can get one?

Alternatively, if I had more sed chops, I could script the path
transformation, but I don't know how to do that either. (Could someone
tell me how to do that?)
