Note: If there is only one file, need to put values in XML file only
else If there are more than one file, need to put values in CSV file
Some Names need to have commas. But – Commas interfere with the CSV to XML conversion. If any
Names have commas, do this:
– Temporarily replace , in the CSV file with !!!
– After converting, replace !!! in the xml file with ,
