Jan Matèrne

Three possibilities:

1. convert the file manually
2. write a generator which will do the convertion once
3. use an adapter

I did a quick hack in perl for the generator:

print "<values>
";
foreach (<STDIN>) {
	chomp;
	s/,/</value>
    <value>/g;
	print "  <valuelist>
    <value>$_</value>
  </valuelist>
";
}
print "</values>";

You can use that for starting. If you want write an adapter I recommend looking at chaperon (i never used it, but sounds good).

You also can use Java, just read one line at a time. Then using a StringTokenizer to get one token at a time. Do the same thing Jan does in perl. Add a root, put each token into a child tag. It is simple and easy because your data is structured.
