RE: [xml-dev] CSV to XML

Thanks, this worked wonderful on non structured data. It helped.

I tried open Office, and yes I can get XML from it, but I will have to write
a transformation for it, reason I am hesitant about doing that is because
there are *many* different tables in different formats. I was just after
some tool that would do this for me and would allow me to map the fields. 
This tool works fine for simple row based records, which is what I will use
it for. As for the structured tables, I will probably have to do them
manually.

http://www.dpawson.co.uk/java/csv2xml.html may help you if you insist on CSV
processing.

Did you try OpenOffice as Bob suggested?
