XML to CSV

[CliffordAllen]

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and almost as new to coding.

I would like to learn a very basic way to convert XML into CSV in a fairly short amount of time. I have been working with hand-coding simple XML for a project at work, which as a non-tech person, has been very challenging. The XML is going to be mapped to our DMS for searchability (long story).

I am told by my program administrator that CSV will be easier to work with. Is there a "CSV for dummies" that someone can point me to? My XML is super stripped-down, for what it is worth. So I don't think it would be that big a deal once I get over the conceptual hurdle. Thanks!

i would ask in the javascript forum.
you can make a webpage that runs anywhere, uses ajax to load xml, and spits out a plain text csv.

How about a script that changes the < and > tags into , after you have done that you can clean it in a spreadsheet.
