Converter

There are two scripts that do the exact same thing convert.rb and convert.py. The python version requires no dependencies be installed, the Ruby version requires Nokogiri.

Installation

This script uses Python or Ruby and you'll need git too if you're cloning the code.

• Clone or download the repository.

$ git clone https://github.com/waynegraham/vermont.git
$ cd vermont

Python

Set the path in the script where you have the files downloaded:

RECORDS_PATTERN = "./PT*.xml"

This will find all XML documents in that directory.

In the terminal, run the script:

$ python convert.py

This will create a file named records.xml of the flattend records in the XML files that can be easily imported in to Access.

Ruby

Set the path in the script where you have the files downloaded:

RECORDS_PATTERN = "./PT*.xml"

This will find all XML documents in that directory.

In the terminal, run the script:

$ ruby convert.rb

This will create a file named records.xml of the flattend records in the XML files that can be easily imported in to Access.
