How to remove XML declaration and white spaces in request XML and convert the XML into string

Gateway 9.2

I am able to remove white spaces and XML declaration using regular expression assertion but I am not able to get my desired response

Input xml 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Request>
<sourceappcode>RCAS</sourceappcode>
<RqUID></RqUID>
<message_type_cd>KB100</message_type_cd>
<TransactionId>ABC12345</TransactionId>
<reportType>xml</reportType>
<txnId>qwert</txnId>
<vendorId>123456</vendorId>
</Request>

Output xml

<Request><sourceappcode>RCAS</sourceappcode><RqUID></RqUID>message_type_cd>KB100</message_type_cd><TransactionId>ABC12345</TransactionId>reportType>xml</reportType><txnId>qwert</txnId><vendorId>123456</vendorId></Request>

Need to convert the request XML into string by removing XML declaration 

Hi Irfan,

To remove the XML declaration you can use XSLT, something along these lines:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output indent="yes" method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="@*|*|processing-instruction()|comment()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*|@*|text()|processing-instruction()|comment()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Thank you for the xsl,But i also need to remove the white spaces and transform the xml in one line string as same as i shown in my output which i need.

Whitespace can be removed with RegEx.

Trim white spaces in Split Variable Assertion 

Optionally, RegEx can also be used to remove the declaration. See the attached sample.

<\?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"\?>

xml_declaration.xml - remove declaration and whitespace using only RegEx

xml_declaration_xslt.xml - remove declaration using XSLT and whitespace using RegEx.

Thank you for your help.
