    Refer this tutorial:

    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloaditem?rid=/library/uuid/1208c2cd-0401-0010-4ab6-f4736074acc6

    Don't go by the title of the document, in this tutorial, they explain how to convert an XML string to XML format and thus open it using an Excel application.

      Hi Sebastian,

      Thanks for the support, I am using a DOM parser and was able to convert a string to an XML Document.

      Now I have a problem that additional Newline characters get introduced in the document.

      Eg : when I get the length of ChildNodes, I get the number of childnodes + the newlines in between each child node.

      i.e if a node has 2 children I get the length as 5 (2children + 3 blank nodes).

      Please let me know how to remove these newlines ??

      Awaiting your kind responses.

      Regards,

      Mahesh

    Hi Mahesh,

    Clean your xml using followin code i.e remove all empty nodes. These empty nodes may have name as null or "#text".

    try

    {

    Document doc = builder.parse(inputstrm);

    Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();

    NodeList ndLst = root.getChildNodes();

    for(int i=0;i<ndLst.getLength();i++)

    {

    Node tmp = ndLst.item(i);

    if(tmp.getNodeName().compareToIgnoreCase("") == 0 || tmp.getNodeName().compareToIgnoreCase("#text") == 0)

    {

    root.removeChild(tmp);

    }

    }

    }

    catch(Exception e)

    {}

    Hope this solves your problem

    Regards,

    Mayank
