Converting delimited text WITH <br> to string

Friends,
I guess I missed the answer to this one. I have read a lot of FAQs,
but I have not found my particular answer.

All I want to do is to compare an XML file with a text file.

My desire is to convert the text file into a string then compare the
data in it to the XML nodes. However, the text file always gets
parsing errors.

The text file has is exported from a OLD database, but the fields do
have <br> and other sloppy html in them.

I would edit them, but there are over 300 of them all in different
folders (lucky for me they are on the same server).

Here is the URL.
