<Emp_Name=Neel Emp_No=21 City=Mumbai/>
</Department><Department = HR>

</Department><Department = Testing>
<Emp_Name=Swapna Emp_No=54 City=Kolhapur/>
<Emp_Name=Aakash Emp_No=34 City=Pune/>
</Department>
Any Help???
Rough draft and I consider to be crappy code. But it gives a basis for improvement (or reject). Worked on my local sims. Commas assumed (being CSV). Quotes are assumed in sourcefile but it may work without them. @echo off & setlocal
set source=test.csv
set xml=test.xml
del %xml% 2>nul
set pre=""
rem ----- get labels
set /p h=<%source%
set c=1
call :aa %h%
goto :eof:aa
set k%c%=%~1
set /a c+=1
shift
if "%1" neq "" goto :aa
for /f "skip=1 tokens=1* delims=," %%a in (%source%) do call :xx %%a %%b
goto :eof:xx
if %1 neq %pre% (
if %pre% neq "" >> %xml% echo ^</Department^>
>> %xml% echo ^<department = %~1^>
set pre=%1
)
>>%xml% echo ^<%k2%=%~2 %k3%=%~3 %k4%=%~4/^>

Does it need to be batch?
Here is a solution using powershell:Import-Csv -Path "C:\folder\file.csv" | Export-Clixml -Path "C:\folder\file.xml"
Edit:
"It is important to remember that CliXml is XML-based only and not interchangeable with a standard XML document."
Might not be what you were looking for, but worth checking out if you can use CliXml instead of Xml.

Thanks for your suggestion. But i want to compare row value in 1st column if that are same then it will go in same tag
for ex:if Department name is same then other values like emp_name,emp_id,city will go in that tag.
Department Emp_Name Emp_No City
Development Priya 23 Pune
Development Neel 21 MumbaiExpected output:
<Department = Development>
<Emp_Name=Priya Emp_No=23 City=Pune/>
<Emp_Name=Neel Emp_No=21 City=Mumbai/>
</Department>Please can you suggest any batch script for comparing two rows.

Not sure i follow. Do you want all the people that are in the same department to end up in the same tag?
So it would be like this:
Department1
Employee1
Employee2Department2
Employee1
Employee2And so on?
Could use an if statement to compare 2 strings tho, "if string1 equ string2".

Thank you for your suggestion. It is properly working now.
Just a small worry though.
The department tag is not getting closed.Could you help me with it?
Sorry to bother, I am new to Batch Script.
Fixed in #4. Also added the fwd-slash to the other lines as per your sample.
Thank you so much for your help. Thank you for your suggestion.

You made my day.
