Here is a zany problem:
I'd like to transfer some data from Excel to a text file. But to give
it some structure (i.e. ``this is data from exp 5, where param 1 is foo1
and param 2 is foo2...''), I'd need to define control structures, and
then write a program to digest them.
So the thought came to use XML conventions to define the control
structures. After all, the thing is extensible, and I can define
whatever I please, as long as I know what to do with it later on.
Is there a program that I would be able to adapt to read the XML codes?
I'd hate to start from scratch if something is available.
The other thought is to use the astronomy database programs and put the
data in there, but I need to think a bit whether it can fit my needs.
Any thoughts?
Mirko

The online help for the XML DOM parser has a very simple example of
using it to write output:

In my experience, *writing* XML is the easy part, PRINTF usually works fine.
