Hey Mike,
You are right. But the TRIAL version did the conversion. So thanks
to Sean Corfield for pointing that out. However, I am not happy yet. I
don't want to use that software, I want to write the XML myself. What is
the fun of having a software do the job? I have been doing a lot of

Strictly speaking it's not free, but you might already have MS Excel.
Later versions can save as XML.
If you have such a version, you could read your CSV file in to excel,
then save it as XML.

Cool. That's why they say that XML is not a language but a
meta-language. Unlike HTML that it has its own tags, XML can have tags
created by the developer accordingly by creating DTD or schemas.

Sean,
I have to say THANK YOU! I got the file converted in seconds with
the software you indicated me. Now I know what wddx means and I also
know how the XML file needs to look like. I won't sleep tonight till I
read and learn about XML. Will try the ColdFusion tags also.
Ravi.

No, because anyone can create their own language by creating a DTD or
schema.

Wow! This makes a lot more sense now Dave. So the WDDX from the CFWDDX
means the type of XML struct used.
Great.
Thanks,
Ravi.

Sure there are. I can think of several offhand; WDDX, the Q
Aaron,
You are right on that. I will ask them the proper format. It is
useless to put time into something and then change it later. Maybe I
wasn't clear here but all I want is to know how to do it so that when I
get there on Monday it be easier.
Thanks,
Ravi.

Hey Sean,
Thanks for the patience and thanks for putting the time in showing

I have to see you did an awesome job with it. Your last e-mail was

Hey Claude,
That helps. Thanks! CFHTTP is already in use. What would WDDX stand
for? Just curious...gotta google. it.

I would rather try to read the table using CFHTTP to build a query,
although CFHTTP will not read ANY CSV format.
Then have a look at the tag http://www.contentbox.com/claude/customtags/tagstore.cfm

I want to choose a format and get this done by Monday. They want to
see something done by Monday. Whether it will work or not with the
Portal I will have to see it with them on Monday. I understand that the
Portal understands a type of XML construct and it will brake if another

There are a few ways to do this and a simple google search should return
them. You still need to know what the format of the XML needs to be in, in
order for it to work with the portal. The portal is going to be designed to
work with XML laid out in a certain fashion.

So in this case, the XML type is tables. Correct? After I read the CSV
file with CFFILE action set to read, built a query in memory with CFHTTP
what would be the next step in building this XML file?

You are right that XML is not a language, it is rather a "format", a
format able to represent about anything.

Is there a list of specific XML languages? They company has a portal
that knows how to treat XML data so it let's the end user upload an XML

To elaborate on this a little bit, XML isn't a language. Saying you want
something "in XML" doesn't really make sense. What you really want is
Hey Sean,
I will do a little research on the type of XML I need and then will
get back at you. As far as tag-wise would use CFWDDX?

Once you have a query in memory, you can easily generate whatever XML

Hey Sean,
If I use CFHTTP to produce a query from that CSV file what other
tool could I use to generate the file. You are completely correct when
you say that the question didn't make any sense since with XML we can
produce our own tags depending on the type of content structure given.

Since XML can have any format, that question doesn't really make

Hi,
I was asked to convert a CSV file to XML. Is there free a converter
