I've never heard of an XML reader.

Notepad should suffice

try wordpad, it formats the xml properly.

Off the top of my head, you should be able to get a trial version of XML Spy from http://www.altova.com/. Free for thirty days or so.

there's some pretty nice perl / java / vb / c++ classes / objects or whatever that make it really easy to parse XML. or you could write your own parser. or use a parser-generator to generate a parser for you.

you'd probably even get away with using normal aul regular expressions.

I should have mentioned I'm hungover. Simplicity is key
