Just throwing out a suggestion. I've got a xml file that gets updated daily and would love to be able to import it directly instead of screwing around with parsing it into a csv file.

Are you talking about an RSS feed right? If so then you can definitely do that, go to too Tools>>Import>>RSS and choose Upload your file and import.

I've done it several times and it works well.

Wondering how you script that in a cron job?

I'm using a program that sets the posting times between 2 values that I give it. It doesn't use a cron job script that I'm aware of, it just uses WP to post them at set intervals.

Don't know how it works, just that it does! :)
