This is a little tool I build with the help of Screenweaver<\/a>.
\nA dir(ectory) 2 XML tool.<\/p>\n

I was looking for a program that could create an XML file from a directory. I found some programs that could help me with this (commandline<\/a>, Printfolder<\/a>, Dirhtml<\/a>) but none of them creates an XML at once. So one evening I sat down, and made this in a couple of hours.<\/p>\n

Because this is a custom solution to a specific problem, not everybody will be able to use this. I'm open to suggestions though, so drop me a line.<\/p>\n

Dir2xml v1.0<\/h2>\n

\"dir2xml\"<\/p>\n

PC and Apple<\/h2>\n

Sadly enough Screenweaver can't export to Apple (yet<\/a>).
\nSo Dir2xml will (for now) only work on a pc.<\/p>\n

Download<\/h2>\n

You can download the EXE, SWF and FLA in a ZIP<\/p>\n

Get your stuff here: dir2xml_060520.zip<\/a><\/strike><\/div>\n

update: new version<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

The code is embedded in the fla so I'll show the code here.<\/p>\n
