Convert XML to Filemaker input
This service converts xml to a format suitable for import into a filemaker database
as
xml via tab-delimited mode. It does
not

also give html representation (not recommended for large files)
output a compressed file (
gzip
)--recommended for large files and/or slow connections
Please also note:
tag entry is case-insensitive. If the tag is <TEXT> you can enter "text" or even "TeXt"
Angle brackets are optional. Both "text" and "<text>" work. So does "<text"
Empty elements are
always
tabbed to the place in the hierarchy where they are in fact located
There is almost no error-checking. The program will complain only if:
it can't find the tags you supply among the tags in yr file
the document you supply is not well-formed xml for the stretch between starttag and lowtag
It does
not
check to see that the tags you supply make sense in terms of the hierarchy of your document. If you supply a low tag that is a parent of a starttag, for instance, this will not cause the conversion to fail (even though it should). So beware!
