<pre wrap=""><tt>I have to import and process several XML files at a time.
What I'm planning to do now, since I don't know the name of the files, is:
copy *.xml big.xml
and parse the big.xlm file.
Since there are no single-character field and record delimiters, what is the best way to import this big.xml file?
Thank

A two second google search on xml to csv found many entries which show
how to convert a xml file to a csv using xslt. This way you could
easily import your files into filepro.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/~jphb/xml/xmlcsv.html">http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/~jphb/xml/xmlcsv.html</a> is an example. You can
even find java code to do the above which would obviously run on either
win or *nix.<br>
<br>
Again take a look into xslt which sole purpose is to transform XML
documents into other documents (like XML, HTML, and plain text). <br>
