    The title says it all, really. I have a datafile xml but I want it in rss2 to import it into a script. Can anyone suggest a fairly straightforward way of doing this?

    Thanks.

    "XML file" is a very broad definition. It could be anything. Could be a proprietory format based on custom DTD, so it won't necessarily be compatible with RSS because RSS has a very limited set of predefined fields.
    If it IS compatible (meaning it could be converted into RSS) - your best bet would be writing a custom script to parse your XML source and output the RSS.
