You can use XML input stages to read the XML data and write into flat files. For that you would need to know the data present in the XML file thoroughly. Ample documentation also provided in the 'Help'.

Hi ds2000,
One of the tutorials on this link http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/d ... 0703xiong/ has differnt XML Tasks. Although it is not a direct solution to your question, it will help you reach there, especially task#2, if you were to define the output as a file.
Again, as Vigneshwara has pointed correctly, you need to know the format and data types of the file that you want to work with.

Good luck,
