Re:  Code used to extract data from complex XML file -
Hi Catherine,

I understand from your previous mails that you are looking for a way to
transform from XML to CSVs.  There is a lot of that going around and I've
dabbled in that a bit myself.

What is somewhat interesting about your input document, although hardly
unique, is that there are lists of lists in it.  For instance, the top
level is an invoice_list and this, in turn, contains a fund_list, so a list
inside of a list. I'm not sure exactly how you want to turn this into a CSV
for the few elements that you indicated in your original mail, but I can
make a suggestion that may give you some ideas to go on.

I'm not suggesting that this is an ultimate solution nor even correct, but
it may give you some forms to work on:

best of luck
