xml to txt

[gray eagle]

interested in learning best way to convert xml to text. How can I past a xml document to any thread here so that it shows all the data.

[AussieMan]

I usually open an xml file in something like Notepad and the copy and paste it to wherever I need to.

<location name="San Diego USS Midway">If I did what you say, below are results. Now, I'm about talking posting contents of xml file here.
<title>USS_Midway</title>
<latitude>32.693963</latitude>
<longitude>-117.274995</longitude>
<heading>330</heading>
<speed>25

If I take a snap shot of it then, all the goodies (Titles) show with it as well.

</speed></location>Attachment 12730<location name="San Diego USS Midway"><speed></speed>
</location>What ever it is, it strips the stuff in red and just leaves the text in black.

I've seen threads here were the complete contents of an xml file was posted.
Surely, there has to be a better way.

Wrap your text in code tags, the button up in the reply window with <> on it.

There is probably some free software that will do the job for you in a nice manner. Just Google

"Free Convert XML-to-Text" and you'll get some choices, I'm sure.

You are correct, try going to "Advanced" and switch off all Miscellaneous Options.
