I got a copy of Office 2003 (long story, to be told later) and it can read the malformed xml out of the box. I did solve the problem…..

The data isn't that hierarchical, it's basically database data in XML. Arthur, what are you importing into?

The data isn’t that hierarchical, it’s basically database data in XML.

Secondly, as fluffy said, how hierarchical does it look like? It’s a long story.

Again, flat would be pretty easy to do via XSLT, but hierarchical wouldn't, since CSV is strictly flat. Okay, and is it flat data, or is it hierarchical?

XML is much better-suited to S-expressions. Of course it depends on what you're trying to convert. If it's simple enough you could just try doing something with XSLT.
