xml files

[Scott Roesch]

Hi All:

I just received a data file that I need to analyze, and the file is a
.xml. I have not been able to find an easy way to open this file and
convert it to a SPSS data file. Could someone provide some guidance here
as I have never accessed a .xml file before? Thanks in advance!

Hi Scott:

I don't have experience on those files, but I sometimes use Excel as
an intermediate step between strange format files and SPSS. I have
taken a look at Excel (2003) and it reads XML files directly (File ->
Open: File type...).
