xml to csv conversion

[tpadhu]

HI,

How to convert XML file into csv or txt file?
any ideas?

Thank you!

Well...what exactly want you convert and how? A xml file is also a text file in the common sense...since it contains only ASCII...

One could use an XSL stylesheet.

I think just searching the internet for +xml +csv would get results faster than posting here. The following are some results I got that way.

I think you can find more if you search for them.

The following are good places to look for XML stuff.

You would not say that if you knew more about XML and related tools such as XSL and Schemas and more.

Wouldn't I? Interestingly enough I am working with these things since 2 years...however, feel free to enlight me...

Some questions require clarification, but I think it is possible to provide useful answers to this question without further clarification.

That is as useful as telling someone asking about C++ that a C++ file contains only ASCII.

XML alone is relatively simple, but the subject of XML usually includes other things, such as XSLT. I have never seen you say that a C++ file contains only ASCII, yet an XSLT file can contain as much logic as a C++ file.
