You need to specify first the format of the xml and the way, how do you want to construct that header file. Which language do you prefer? Do you have any plans or tries or sample program?

Hi pan64,
I had converted CSV to XML using a c++ program and in windows this xml is used to convert to c++ header file using msxsl.exe but this does not work in Linux.
Now, I have compiled the CSV2xml c++ program in Linux and am able to create XML file but now I want to convert this xml to c++ header file.
Here is some of my xml file content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Root xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Row>
<Error_code>20000</Error_code>
<Application>App</Application>
<Type>E</Type>
<Text>The page range selected for the %s report falls outside\nthe page range selected for the compared report.</Text>
<Output_Method>Format</Output_Method>
<Internal_ID___enumeration >IDS_PAGE_RANGE_SELECTED_FALLS_OUTSIDE_PAGE_RANGE_SELECTED_FOR_COMPARED_REPORT</Internal_ID___enumeration >
<File><path of file>\filename.cpp</File>
<Function>DifferenceReportDlg::OnOK() </Function>
<Source_Line_Number>288</Source_Line_Number>
</Row>

wine is a package, you can try to install it. with wine you can run (some of) your windows programs on linux.

it is documented on that site, so just look around. First you need to install it, and simply type wine <your windows program as usual>

I tried to install but as I am having RHEL 4 and yum is by default not installed and we do not have subscription yet. So, is there any way we could install wine.

It looks like mxsxsl.exe is an XSLT processor, you can probably use the same xsl file with xsltproc.

I had searched earlier for xsltproc and found that it adds XSLT stylesheet to xml document whereas I need to convert xml to c++ header file.

Let me say this as politely as I can ... and please understand that I do not mean to insult you in any way.

The tool you have (an XSLT processor) is the tool that you want to use ... but you don't know it yet. You don't know how to use it yet. Therefore, start by learning. Rome wasn't built in a day. At this point, you are quite ignorant of the subject, and it plainly shows. So, that becomes the first obstacle to be addressed in getting this particular problem solved: learn how.

Surf for "XSLT." Gawk at the Periodic Table of the Elements that was created entirely using XSLT, then browse its source-code on your browser. (Your browser does the work!)

Sundialsvcs,
Thanks for the suggestion and appreciate for helping me to move forward step by step but as am stuck in middle of some official work and thus am in process to find out on converting xml to c++ header file directly.
I will definitely start learning by the way you have mentioned but after this work is completed.

i originally interpreted that as gnu-awk <@.

it mite be possible to use awk as some sort of xml parser ?

Why don't you try doing it in windows and copy it across?

Whatever you are trying to do I doubt it will work.
Mixing windows and linux based source isn't a fruitful exercise, generally.

Then you haven't explained much detail.
