I need to parse and process an XML feed, unfortunately the feed is about 110mb in size (and i cannot do anything about it) but to be able to parse it i need to see the structure (or if anyone has any other ideas i’d love to hear it).
But for some reason using editplus i’ve been unable to open the file. I’m on a 64bit Vista Machine with 4gb of ram (And alot of it free for use) but the file crashes every program i try to open it with.
Anyone have any ideas of how i can parse blindly (server runs linux…) ?! (PHP please..!) or a program that might be able to resolve my problem?
Cheers
UPDATE
I have managed to find the problem but it was resolved by the answer i’ve accepted. It seemed to be that the XML file wasn’t just large but all on one line which seemed to break the line limit in most programs. The chosen answer textpad++ detected this and broke the file across different lines so that it can be viewed…(might help someone in the future!)
