I have several book's reference be must convert to XML.
I want to create application in Java for this action.
Book's reference:
Schulz V, Hansel R, Tyler VE. Rational phytotherapy: a physician's guide to herbal
medicine. 3rd ed., fully rev. and expand. Berlin: Springer; c1998. 306 p.
XML:
<element-citation publication-type="book" publication-format="print">
<name>
<surname>Schulz</surname>
<given-names>V</given-names>
</name>
<name>
<surname>Hansel</surname>
<given-names>R</given-names>
</name>
<name>
<surname>Tyler</surname>
<given-names>VE</given-names>
</name>
<source>Rational phytotherapy: a physician's guide to herbal medicine</source>
<edition>3rd ed., fully rev. and expand</edition>
<publisher-loc>Berlin</publisher-loc>
<publisher-name>Springer</publisher-name>
<year>c1998</year>
<size units="page">306 p</size>
</element-citation>
How to convert book's reference to XML format?
What do you suggest?
As you might not be experienced in Java, the dull, simple solution (Java 7):
String.split(regex)
(Scanner
would do too).Mind, special characters < > & " '
in bookref text might need to be replaced by
< > & " '
.
String bookRef = "Schulz V, Hansel R, Tyler VE. Rational phytotherapy: a physician's guide to herbal "
+ "medicine. 3rd ed., fully rev. and expand. Berlin: Springer; c1998. 306 p.";
File file = new File("D:/dev/xml-part.txt");
final String TAB = " ";
try (PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(file), "UTF-8")))) {
out.println(TAB + "<element-citation publication-type=\"book\" publication-format=\"print\">");
String[] lines = bookRef.split("\\.\\s*");
String names = lines[0];
String[] nameArray = names.split(",\\s*");
for (String name : nameArray) {
String[] nameParts = name.split(" +", 2);
out.println(TAB + TAB + "<name>");
out.println(TAB + TAB + TAB + "<surname>" + nameParts[0] + "</surname>");
out.println(TAB + TAB + TAB + "<given-name>" + nameParts[1] + "</given-name>");
out.println(TAB + TAB + "</name>");
}
out.println(TAB + TAB + "<source>" + lines[1] + "</source>");
...
out.println(TAB + "</element-citation>");
} catch (FileNotFoundException | UnsupportedEncodingException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Test.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
