Anyone know of a script to help format & implement CSV or XML FULL SITE feeds/dumps?

I have a question for you geniuses out there. I have a site that is to be fed strictly from a company's full site product catalog. The company is offering XML feeds and CSV dumps of the catalog.

Is there a script that helps format and implement that into a site? Will a standard cart script do this effectively?

I will admit I've never done this before so any info you guys can give will be greatly appreciated.

Well, the CSV format is plain text. So something like perl can open the file and manipulate it to your needs pretty easily. What do you want to do with the data once you read it?

Insert it into categories and such. It's a lot of data so doing it piece by piece is not an option. We are talking over 40,000 pieces of content.

Perl can handle the processing / parsing no problem. What you want to do with it is likely where the bottleneck would be.

Interesting. There has to be an easier way. There has to be a script that is used to handling the csv or xml info that allows categorization and presentation capabilities? No?

Perl = Practical Extraction and Reporting Language. If your looking for something to format and reparse data, perl is probably the easiest approach.
