I have a .txt file which contains some atomic values separated by commas. From this .txt file I want to create an XML file of those values. How do I do this ? Can I get the code also ?

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.

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 "
";
foreach () {
	chomp;
	s/,/
    /g;
	print "  
    $_
  
";
}
print "";

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