read xml into csv file. the xml input for this was produced by runing Sydi against a list of servers.

					<description><![CDATA[Hi, I came across this site and tried sydi in our servers.

I run an issue with sydi-wrapper.vbs

I want the output to be in MS-Word format rather than in XML format and put some word options like:
-b&quot;Table List 4&quot; 
-f10
-d 

Where can I modify the the sydi-wrapper.vbs?

Thank you.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hello Patrick,

My initial minimal testing has produced great results... minimal effort - low level - granular information... fantastic.

If I wish to use this commercially (in the council - ~100 servers (50 production) - what is the costing model... ?

					<description><![CDATA[Thank you for creating this very useful tool.  I am hoping you can assist with a stumbling block i have encountered.
I am running office 2010 with Excel 2010 on the computer deploying the SYDI scripts.

I am trying to run the overview and export
cscript.exe sydi-overview.vbs -x&quot;C:\Scripts\Output files&quot;
it begins to read the .xml files in the target folder but then after the Opening Excel File line, the command line window displays the following error 

c:\Scripts\sydi-overview.vbs(549, 2) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Object required: &#039;objExcel.Cells(...).Value&#039;

otherwise everything works perfectly with the exception of this one portion of the script.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hello,
Can I somehow add columns to the spreadsheet?  I need to know the network card adapter model, the speed of the port, if the port is used, IP address, and if anything else about the nic then that would be great!

Thanks!
