But XSLT transforms a tree, usually created by parsing

would apply templates to plain text. You would need to
write a parser first for your plain text format to emit
XML but then you would not need XSLT any longer.

I will create an XML document with a simple tree, like
this....

<MyXMLDoc>
<Parameter>1234</Parameter>
<Data>Here it is string to process</Data>
</MyXMLDoc>

I need a XSLT who take <Data> and split its fields to a
new XML file. I look for a tool for creating this XSLT.

The tool you're looking for is commonly called "brain" and
humans are typically supplied with one at birth. If you
have lost or misplaced yours, contact your vendor's
customer support centre for a replacement.

On a more serious note, XSLT is not designed for string
processing. This might be bearable with XSLT2, but still a
curious design choice.

When all you have is a transformation engine, everything
looks like a tree.
