XML file of purchases

Hey, does anyone know if there's a way to get an XML file containing all of your purchases from DAZ?
I created a DBMS for my Computer Science Masters Project that uses XML files and I wanted to use my purchases as a proof of concept for my degree. If I can't, I guess I will just create one manually by hand but if there's a way to get something like this from Daz itself, that would be great.
Anyone advice would be appreciated.

DIM will give you a CVS file, for the items that appear in DIM (but with an entry for each zip in a multi-part set). It should also be scriptable, and Daz Script does have objects for handling XML data.
You can export from DIM as a comma separated list. From there, it would be a simple bit of Posix scripting to turn it into an XML file. Indeed, one of XML's design goals was to make generation and parsing a 'simple matter of programming'.
Is there anyway to get descriptions and pics of the items this way?
Some, at least, can be done - have a look at the sample scripts in the Metadata section http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/start#metadata
I think I found a couple of scripts that could possibly do what I'm looking for. Do I run these within Daz Studio?
Yes.
