Export from Freemind to yEd - simple XSL

Question

Regarding my feature request for this export I found one step more. It could be easily done with an XSLT which creates a simple CSV which can be imported to yEd via the Excel-Import.

 

This is my XML-code:

Code:

---

<map version="0.9.0">

</node>
<node CREATED="1327478718296" ID="ID_325575686" MODIFIED="1327478718906" POSITION="right" TEXT="b"/>
<node CREATED="1327478719687" ID="ID_1032928779" MODIFIED="1327478720500" POSITION="right" TEXT="c">
<node CREATED="1327478734953" ID="ID_349051169" MODIFIED="1327478736734" TEXT="1"/>
<node CREATED="1327478737500" ID="ID_1200348443" MODIFIED="1327478739046" TEXT="2"/>
<node CREATED="1327478742234" ID="ID_1104719965" MODIFIED="1327478743765" TEXT="3"/>
</node>
</node>
</map>

This should be the result - a CSV-table with a Node-Ancestor-data for each node:

Code:

---

Node, Ancestor
Start,-
a, Start
b, Start
c, Start
4, a
1, c
2, c
3, c

Who can help?

Thanks

Both of the following converters seem to be promising but additional changes to the resulting file may be required:

• http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Import_and_export#CSV_text

Thanks for the info, but on base of my zero-level-knowledge I just spent some hours with try&Error&Error and start reading books for Dummies and so to modify this template.

At the moment I don't have a solution.
