Convert XML to CSV using awk or shell script
Post 302931294 by sea on Monday 12th of January 2015 11:49:01 AM

"This wont work!", was my first thought.
A technicaly halftruth/incorecctness, but helpfull to create a better image, saying would be:
XML is like a Database, whereas CSV/TXT is a Tablesheet at best.
It is NO problem to make all data from a table into a database,but moving a database into a table, even when there are only 5 entries, is already rather complex. (unless the DB was used as a simple table
)
You need to decide which values/cathegories you want to drop in favor of more important data, OR which values you want to store in another file - if you want to preserve ALL data.
