How To Order Legos?

[TassemetZateki]

Greetings everyone!

Old fan of legos, but new to online ordering of them, especially when going after certain pieces for certain sets.

I have this huge list I've found, but can't find where/how to upload it to generate an actual parts list, and I don't want to have to search for specific parts bit by bit on Bricklink or elsewhere.

The list I have looks like this:

//<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
//<!DOCTYPE BrickStockXML>
//<BrickStockXML>
//<Inventory>
//  <Item>
//   <ItemID>4186</ItemID>
//   <ItemTypeID>P</ItemTypeID>
//   <ColorID>86</ColorID>
//   <ItemName>Baseplate 48 x 48</ItemName>
//   <ItemTypeName>Part</ItemTypeName>
//   <ColorName>Light Bluish Gray</ColorName>
//   <CategoryID>2</CategoryID>
//   <CategoryName>Baseplate</CategoryName>
//   <Status>I</Status>
//   <Qty>2</Qty>
//   <Price>11.009</Price>
//   <Condition>U</Condition>
//   <OrigPrice>0.000</OrigPrice>
//   <OrigQty>0</OrigQty>
//  </Item>

Where do I go to use a list like this and make my life easier?
Thanks! -Tass

I'm copy pasting this from one of @Blakbird's parts lists and I'm getting the following:

Invalid File Format: The element type "GuiState" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</GuiState>".

That parts list is a Brickstock file.  You need to download the Brickstock software to open it.  If you want to create a Bricklink parts list, you can do so from Brickstock.  I think Bricklink will also import the file directly now, but you can't just copy-paste the content.

I'll have to head home to do that then since my work computer can't.
I appreciate the help on clearing up the confusion!
