    HI,
    I want to create a file with my test data.
    I am not sure how to do this.
    Can anyone help/suggest ?
    I am not a developer :-( but i can give a try if suggested..

    Requirement:
    I have my data in a excel file: name,ssn number,account number

    I want to have a front end form (may be in html/jsp) with
    a textfield with text "number of lines":
    and submit button.

    when i enter number of lines = 3 and hit submit, i want a xml file to be created with a predefined text:
    <xml>
    <some constant text>
    <name1></name>
    <ssn1></ssn>
    <account1></account>
    <name2></name>
    <ssn2></ssn>
    <account2></account>
    <name3></name>
    <ssn3></ssn>
    <account3></account>
    </some constant text>

    3 records of data should be copied from excel file and create a xml file.

    can anyone help please?

    You don't need to program anything. Just insert a number of columns between your fields, populate the element tags in the empty columns, select and copy into a text file and then do a find replace all on the tab characters that will be pasted in when you do this to get rid of them and clean up your document. Job done.
