Need a relative sequence (count of record) in an input file in ESB input fi

Question

I am using ESB to pick up text files and pass them to a stored procedure. I have multiple variable length records in the file. I pass each record to the
output file adapter, along with the input filename. I would also like to get a relative record number for each record within the file. I use an xsd file
to convert the input to XML. The entire file is at the root level, each record is an element. Is there a way to get a relative count of each element?
Here is the xsd file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:nxsd="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/nxsd"
targetNamespace="http://TargetNamespace.com/Filein"
xmlns:tns="http://TargetNamespace.com/Filein"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
attributeFormDefault="unqualified" nxsd:encoding="ASCII" nxsd:stream="chars" nxsd:version="NXSD">
<xsd:element name="Root-Element">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="C1" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="C1" type="xsd:string" nxsd:style="terminated" nxsd:terminatedBy="${eol}" nxsd:quotedBy="&quot;">
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
<!--NXSDWIZ:J:\\UPLD5383.INM:-->
<!--USE-HEADER:false:-->
I need to map the relative record number to a field in the output.
Is there a function similar to the get filename that would return this value to me?
<xsl:value-of select='ehdr:getRequestHeader("/fhdr:InboundFileHeaderType/fhdr:fileName","fhdr=http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/file/;")'/>
I use this in the xsl file to get the file name .

Answer 1

does each record start with a new line? if it does a
simple wc -l can help you. If not, you can pre
process this XML file by first removing all the new
line characters using sed and then adding new line
characters after the end tag of the xml using sed and
finally doing a wc -l . this would be a simple shell
script. Not sure if you want to use Unix shell
scripting to achieve this.The sheer nature of XML means that it does not conform to any visual formatting. i.e. An xml file containing...
<employee><empno>3</empno></employee>
is identical in XML terms to...
<employee>
<empno>3</empno>
</employee>
which is also identical in XML terms to...
<employee>
<empno>
3
</empno>
</employee>
which is also identical in XML terms to...
<employee><empno>
3
</empno></employee>
etc.
You cannot rely on the number of CR's or CR/LF's in the file to count the records. Proper XML processing should be used for such a task.
