Ok, thanks to the help of you fine folks, I am now spitting out lovely
comma seperated and quote enclosed (as necessary) text files.

I, however, have some additional concerns. Is there a method in which to
increment a counter with xslt? I have some quantity/price pairs in my
catalog xml files and they aren't always congruent. Sometimes 4 pair,
sometimes 5 or 6 pair. (there is always a price for each quantity, but
the amount of pairs varies by product)

If I could increment a counter and append a counter value to the output,
I could serialize them or something to that extent.

Esentially I want: 

prodID, prodNum, (appended) q1-100 q2-150 q3-200 q4-250, p1-100 p2-150
p3-200 p4-250, moreProdInfo, moreInfoStill

As always, any pointers are fully appreciated.

Cheers,

J.

Dave - I see you noticed my uncool uri* - the XML2CSV in Java I did is 
now at:

http://www.dannyayers.com/old/code/index.htm

There's also a CSV2XML.

Jerry - Dave's version is much nicer than mine, but he's right - use 
XSLT ;-)

Cheers,
Danny.
