If your file doesn't have an empty size and contains xml data in it, you should at least have 1 line in it.

So:

wc -l <yourfile

should return a value that differs from 0.

Could you please upload the file you are trying to parse?
So people will then be able to provide a more accurate help to you

first of all if you want to parse a file, you have to make sure that the file is not emplty, if it is empty, you will have nothing to parse Smilie
So please first make sure that you have properly downloaded or FTP the file (and that the one you get is not empty and contains the expected data you want to parse).
