Hello,
Does anyone out there have an XSL stylesheet to transform MODS XML into
a CSV or tab-delimited text file?
Even if it's highly localized to your own institution/project, it would
probably still be useful.
Thanks in advance,

Given that you'll most likely have to deal with elements that are missing
and/or repeat variable amounts of times, conditional mappings, and data
that needs to be transformed, it may be easier to use a string parsing
routine to do what you need.

The easiest approach to converting XML to flat formats is to use a tool like
Oxygen or Altova MapForce. Unfortunately, MapForce Enterprise — the version you
would need — runs around $1k and Oxygen XML Editor is also pricey, although you
might qualify for a discount.
You can also open XML files
Try XML Spy. It has the capability to export

should also work for XSL.

There is also the XML package for R with tools for parsing XML which are
all completely free. It even has a function called xmlToDataFrame to
convert an XML document to a data frame which can then be written to .csv
This function can be used to extract data from an XML document (or
sub-document)

I'm not sure how well it would
LoC has XSLT stylesheets to convert MODS to DC, HTML, and MARCXML.

There are also XML to CSV XSLT scripts out here, and there's this app which
I tested on a MODS 3.0 record and it didn't look too bad:
