Froogle Feed Generation

Hi All

I am working on a site at the moment that has over 6000 products

I am trying to work out a way of creating a product feed that I can upload to google. I have made an asp page that prints all the required data out of the db in rows, which I can copy to excel and save as tab delimited text file.

However, the description field, which is essential contains loads of html and <br> etc which is messing up the feed as its causing random row ands columns. Can anyone suggest a way around this.

I think an RSS feed would be better but I have no idea how I would use asp to generate one of these from the DB

Thanks in advance
Aaron
