I'll bet if you dump your xml file into Claude, you could analyze anything within seconds.

That's a thought, but I wonder if the free version of Claude can handle his xml file? He has over 34,000 profiles so the exported file is going to be huge. Worth a try, though.

My experience with Claude was so positive that I went head and upgraded. The free limit is not on its capabilities, but rather on amount of use. So I was able to do a couple of quite complex tasks quickly with the free version, and they were so good, I decided to buy more usage. In one case, it confirmed that it was capable of building a plugin for my eCommerce web site which has a documented API. I described in detail what I wanted to do in a few sentences, being as detailed as possible. Net of the story: first pass happened in minutes. Completed plugin, all code written, including UI, installation and de-installation instructions completed in a couple of hours.

And there is no reason to try and complete the task all at once. Do a proof of concept with a 100 profiles. It will take seconds. Refine the method, Then complete the task, using sensible subsets using the refined algorithm. That's the real power of this thing. You can iterate "ad infinitum" with almost no human effort, including starting from scratch with a new design. No biggie. Each new iteration is just seconds, regardless. No wasted effort.
Thanks for your support.

Sounds great!

Just a thought for Magmadrag: since the only optional data that you need in the export probably is Tags, you can uncheck all the rest. I did a quick test, and it reduced my export file by almost 70%.
