Thanks Rodrigo, I am sure I could find it. I was just trying to do it the progress way. I am a progress developer in training. I think these tasks are to help me learn writing programs and whatnot. Sometimes I hunt for the answers and find them after I have come up with a not so graceful...

I have some data that was embedded into a html table and stored into a field in the database. Does anyone have advice on a strategy to do that? I am doing this to work with Magento, so we are just bringing the data in and outputting it to a csv for Magento import. So it is just a matter of...

Sorry I was unclear. I have resolved this in a way, but I still would like to understand this better. I am having difficulty understanding how to take data from 3 or 4 different xml files and patch them all together in a graceful way. This company that I am getting data from, they have a file...

Good Afternoon, I am working with SAX, I have 3 different XML files that I need to parse into temp-tables. I have gotten that to work fine. I want to get all that data together to do stuff with it. I have had issues trying to get just one program to parse more than one file, so if you have...

They may just want me to do it the other way I had mentioned and code it to do it at a certain time for now. I am not sure. I hope so. It is just pictures and what products a vendor carries and prices, I guess they can't do that much damage with that info. It isn't customer info or anything like...

I believe it is just ftp. I always forget when I am getting the data from the other vendor because we always use SFTP and I forget to change the setting for them and it does not work. I have not gotten the credentials for this vendor yet, just a sample. The address it mentioned was...

Hey Tom, I do think the static way will serve me better especially at my skill level. And YES it is going to be a PITA because I don't think I can change things. I don't understand how much work an automation can do. I am supposed to make it an automated process to update the prices and...

Hey Tom, you are awesome! I am going to give it a try now! ;)

Hey Tom, Do you know of any good examples of READ-XML()??? I have been looking for a while now and have not found an awesome example. I have the section in the documentation on it. I tried testing it out with the xml from another example in the doc. I am going to play with it some more, but...

Hey Greg, there are 3 DIFFERENT xml files. I am going to have to parse them each in because the product info has the retail price(MSRP), but not the price it is. I am going to at least use the category file so I can correspond the items to my categories. Also, I wouldn't think about doing my...

I am not sure what a well formed xml file would look like. I will give you some examples: Here is a snippet of the categories: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> -<AcuSport_Consumer_Categories table="xchlib.WCPP100U"> -<row> <LEVEL1 typename="char" type="1">ACCESSORIES </LEVEL1>...

I was thinking about using it, but the stuff I read said it did not do well with large files. I might just try it and see how it does. I am not sure how big the full file is, but I am sure that there are a lot. The other vendor they use had close to 17,000 products. I don't know how many this...

Hello, it is me again. I am working on parsing xml into a temp-table and working with it, then output it to a csv file for a magento load. I have gotten the main one to work, but I am confused as to how to handle several going into one big temp-table. This company has a category file, a...

Thanks Cecil! He ended up giving that to the seasoned developer. I am sure it was not hard, but I have a bigger project on my plate, so I was glad to avoid that. I am sure there will be a need for it in the future though. Toolbox stuff!
