Xml file formatting from entire file in single string

Ruby

Hi

Anyone have or can point me to a snippet that will convert an entire xml
file
in the form of a continuous string into a well formatted file?

Thanks

David

I know it’s hardly a snippet but, tidy?

Slim2:~ phrogz$ irb
rirb(main):001:0> require ‘rexml/document’
=> true

irb(main):002:0> doc = REXML::Document.new “yow</
foo>”
=> … </>

irb(main):003:0> doc.to_s
=> “yow”

irb(main):004:0> doc.write( $stdout, 2 )


yow


=> [<?xml ... ?>, … </>]

irb(main):005:0> doc.write( $stdout, 4 )


yow


=> [<?xml ... ?>, … </>]
