>> Data Filename or URL: --> the path to the csv file
>> Definition Filename or URL: --> the path to the def file
>> Data File Definition Name: --> the name of the definition in the def file
>> Save to entity xml file: --> the path to the xml file you want to create

>> For example see the attached definition file.

>> productId#internalName#productName#description#longDescription

>> Let's say the csv file is in: \tmp\data.csv

>>
>> Data Filename or URL: --> \tmp\data.csv
>> Definition Filename or URL: --> \tmp\product_descriptions.xml
>> Data File Definition Name: --> "descriptions"
>> Save to entity xml file: --> \tmp\dataxml.xml
