XML Sitemap

[utsav mukherjee]

Hello,
As all you know that xml site map is one of the part of on page optimization of a site for Google. I am facing a problem with the xml sitemap of one of my client.
Previously through some free xml sitemap generator I used to create xml sitemaps for the client’s site, but in the recent time I found that Google Webmaster Tool accept a particular format of sitemap. I generally modify the sitemaps after generating it through some tools, but only when the site has less number of pages. But the client I am talking about is having 1K pages and it is not possible to modify the xml sitemap manually.
I would like to know expert opinion from this forum, that what can be done in this case.
Well the site is an ecommerce site.

if there is a pattern to the edit then you can use any editor that recognizes regular expressions.
the unix tools for this would include vi and sed or perhaps awk if you have a more complicated edit.
in extreme cases you could do it with a script.
there are windows-based editors that will also recognize regular expressions.
