subject: convert a non-xml file to xml using xsl?
Content-Type: text

I am new to this and wonder if we can use XSL to convert a non-XML 
file into XML.
The file format I am interested is very similar to XML.  For example:

configure network [1]
    configure router [1]
       configure interface [ 1 ]
          set ip 1.2.3.4
          set mask 255.255.255.0
          commit
       return
       configure interface [ 2 ]
          set ip 3.4.5.6
          set mask 255.255.255.0
          commit
       return
    return
    configure switch [1]
       configure interface [ 1 ]
          set ip 5.6.7.8
          set mask 255.255.255.0
          set nexthub 132.132.132.132
          commit
       return
    return
return

The expected XML format would be something like
<network id = "l">
   <router id = "1">
     <interface id = "1">
       <ip>1.2.3.4></ip>
       <mask>255.255.255.0</mask>
     </interface>
     <interface id = "2">
       <ip>3.4.5.6></ip>
       <mask>255.255.255.0</mask>
     </interface>
   </router>
   <switch id = "1">
     <interface id = "1">
       <ip>5.6.7.8></ip>
       <mask>255.255.255.0</mask>
       <nexthub>132.132.132.132</nexthub>
     </interface>
   </switch>
</network>


Can we use XSL to convert it?

Thanks :)
