Hi all,

I have a xml file that I want to change to csv format. Can someone tell me an easy way to do this?

You need to use xslt. It is how XML can be converted into most anything. The trick is that you will need to tell it a bit about the structure of your XML file. IIRC, you only really need to provide details on the stuff you are interested in. There is a well defined syntax for xslt. I bet there are examples on the 'net that can get you started. For example, http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=634160 Of course, if it is a trivial one-off task, perhaps awk might work.

Thanks,

JIM
