Does anyone know how to convert an XML file to a readable file?

All,
I have been using an APP called "SMS Backup & Restore" to backup my message conversations to my Laptop PC.  It works fine BUT the backup file, once in my PC, has an XML extent such as "filename.XML"
I would like to read and/or print and/or save the text message file so does anyone know how to convert the XML file to something else so it shows all the messages without all the formatting instructions.   
When I try to see the XML file it shows all the formatting.  If I replace the .XML with .TXT that too shows all the formatting mixed in with the text message narrative.
When I look at the XML file in SMS Backup & Restore in the Charge phone it looks great showing all the messages just as they were on the phones display.  The problem with this is that there is no way to print or read or save the messages as they appear in the file from the phone itself.  I tried screen capture but if you have, let's say, a 28 message conversation you have to do 7 or 8 screen captures to get them all.
If only I could convert the XML in my PC to something that is printable or savable or readable that would be the "cats meow."
Anyone know how???

Ann154,
You were correct again.  I deleted everything I had done to date and re-did the entire SMS backup of my 28 message conversation again and YES I was able to open it using IE-8.  It looks great and it prints great and life is good!  I am going to go make a donation.
Thanks again for the help.  I marked this thread as answered by you.

  • Does anyone know how to convert the output from the standard report to xml?

    Does anyone know how to convert the output from the standard SAP report to xml?

    since it a standard report which you cannot modify you can only do the following.
    submit report exporting list to memory
    then
    list from memory and then
    use the returned itab along with CALL TRNSFORMATION key word to convert to xml.
    but this only going to place the whole list content (including data and formating lines,etc) into a xml element and not the actual data alone in the list .

  • Does anyone know how to convert iTunes TV subscription downloads to files that I can put on a backup drive and watch on my TV vs. MacBook?

    I purchased a TV series from iTunes and downloaded the HD version. I then copied it to a backup drive so I could plug it in to my DVD player to watch. This would not work. Does anyone know how to convert the files so they are watchable on TV rather than on my MacBook?

    Video in the new iOS is under the application Videos. You should be able to find things there.

  • Does anyone know how to convert a novel manuscript, written in Pages, to an Amazon e-book and CreateSpace document?

    Does anyone know how to convert a novel manuscript, written in Pages, to an Amazon e-book and CreateSpace document?  Do I need to purchase Word for my iBook?

    Susan,
    You need to create a pdf file of the document to print using CreateSpace. Check their size requirements and set up your document to fit those, make sure your cover has the correct bleed if the cover image goes "off the edge", and work your way through the guided system on CreateSpace. If you know someone who has done a book there, they might be able to help you, too. I will be doing a book from an author who used Pages soon, too, and though I use InDesign, he does not. I don't anticipate any problems with it, as a pdf is a file structure with which CreateSpace is familiar.
    You can also use their more tutorial-like set-up, too, perhaps, at least the first time through the process. I typically help first-time users through the process when I've helped create their books, too. It's mostly straight-forward, minus the upload problem I'm currently dealing with with my computer, of course!

  • Does anyone know how to convert file into a .png?

    Does anyone know how to convert file into a .png?
    Thanks

    I tried to give an answer with less steps. I know it's a Pages file & all you have to do is select & copy the content in your Pages file & then open Preview.app. Next time I'll include the exporting to PDF & opening that in Preview.app or in Pages go to File > Print > click on the PDF button in the lower left of the print window & choose Open in Preview.

    sure you can convert it to color image, but you must define what color convertion do you like.

  • Anyone know how to output an XML file from ABAP to a non sapgui location?

    I have a program that creates XML and then outputs a file via CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download. But now I want to execute the program in background mode and therefore I need to be able to output that XML to a NON sapgui file location. Current code creates the XML to an internal table which is binary then the gui_download method converts that to output XML. .  Does anyone know how I can change the code to either a) output the XML to an internal table which can be output via, say, a TRANSFER command..or, b) output the created binary table of XML to a NON sapgui file location?
    Excerpts from current code are as follows:
    first the XML is created (to the binary file)
          Creating a ixml factory
      l_ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).
          Creating the dom object model
      l_document = l_ixml->create_document( ).
          Fill root node with value XML
      l_element_xml  = l_document->create_simple_element(
                  name = 'XML'
                  parent = l_document ).
          Create tag 'HEADER' as child of 'XML'
      l_element_header  = l_document->create_simple_element(
                  name = 'HEADER'
                  parent = l_element_xml  ).
    header information about the file and general data about the fleet follows
      l_value = c_fleet_import.
      l_element_dummy  = l_document->create_simple_element(
                name = 'TYPE'
                value = l_value
                parent = l_element_header ).
    etc.......
    then the xml is connected to the stream factory and rendered
      Creating a stream factory
      l_streamfactory = l_ixml->create_stream_factory( ).
      Connect internal XML table to stream factory
      l_ostream = l_streamfactory->create_ostream_itable( table = l_xml_table ).
      Rendering the document
      l_renderer = l_ixml->create_renderer( ostream  = l_ostream
                                            document = l_document ).
      l_rc = l_renderer->render( ).
      Saving the XML document
      l_xml_size = l_ostream->get_num_written_raw( ).
    and then output to the file
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
           EXPORTING
             bin_filesize = l_xml_size
            filename     = 'g:\sapdms\BSCC-DEV\EFPAC XML Files\ALL.xml'
           filename     = '/TRICK/727/OUT/ZEFP/EFPAC.XML' "doesnt work with sap gui
             filetype     = 'BIN'
           CHANGING
             data_tab     = l_xml_table
           EXCEPTIONS
             OTHERS       = 24.
    as implied by the comments the method above will successfully output the XML file to the g:drive but will not output to /TRICK/ location, which is where I need it to go in a background mode run.
    This is a problem which has defeated all our local expertise and I would appreciate any help given... Barry Jones

    Try this code below:
    data  l_xml_table2  type table of xml_line with header line.
    W_filename - This is a Path.
      if w_filename(02) = '
        open dataset w_filename for output in binary mode.
        if sy-subrc = 0.
          l_xml_table2[] = l_xml_table[].
          loop at l_xml_table2.
            transfer l_xml_table2 to w_filename.
          endloop.
        endif.
        close dataset w_filename.
      else.
        call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
          exporting
            bin_filesize = l_xml_size
            filename     = w_filename
            filetype     = 'BIN'
          changing
            data_tab     = l_xml_table
          exceptions
            others       = 24.
        if sy-subrc <> 0.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • Anyone know how to convert old audio files.

    I have some old audio files going back to OS 7 or OS 9.   There is no file extension.
    Kind:  Unix Executable File
    How can I convert these into something OS X will play.

    That executable file type is just OSX's way of saying it doesn't know what it is.  Unfortunately during the OS7-OS9 days Apple dropped using file extensions. As I transitioned from DOS to Mac in the late 1980s I kept on adding them to all my files because I used several computers and would take a floppy from one to the other and needed to know what kind of files I had on there.  I still have sounds from OS7 days and I know what they are because I added extensions 24 years ago.
    You might see if you can find a resource checking utility.  Resources are hidden file information about creator and type in older files.  I think I have one on this computer but I am running a G4 OSX 10.4.11 and it is Classic capable so I have all kinds of old software here that may not run on a newer computer.
    IT is conceivable VLC might play the file.  It can do all kinds of things but I don't know how good its legacy format support is.
