Hi,
I have a pretty simple need. I'm going to be receiving XML doucments from a 3rd party and will import pieces of data from it.
Then I will process the data and export another XML doc.
What is the best tool to use? I'm not worried about cost, but rather saving time. I'm already buried in work and would like to avoid having to write a lot of SQL or VB code.
Thanks!

There are some utilities out there such as XMLSpy and XMLWrite, however I am not sure they will serv your purpose.
You seem to need something prety custom that will parse a portion of xml doc and then output a new document.
In my opinion you are better of writing few lines of code to cater just your requirement. I just hope some one else may have a better solution for u.

What about XML Convert for making flat files?

xml is a flat file.
What do you wish to output to?
web content? pdf?
There are several parsers available for web content.
My method may not work for you but I've found it
a cure all for web delivery.
Flash.(well swishmax)
the xml is loaded into the swf.
Node id's become vars which I can associate with dynamic text blocks

my mistake. i meant char delimited or fixed width text file. a flash solution sounds interesting but not what i'm looking for.
Thanks!
