From SQL Server 2005, I need to do an export for a client to an xml-like format shown below. Why they are not using XML, I don't know. Any ideas on how to do this quickly without exporting the file "FOR XML" and then writing a messy script to go through the text file and find and replace <, >, and every closing XML tag? Thank you.
START_FILE:
DATE:
COLUMN1:A
COLUMN2:B
COLUMN3:C
COLUMN1:D
COLUMN2:E
COLUMN3:F
COLUMN1:G
COLUMN2:H
COLUMN3:I
END_FILE:
