( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Hey Everyone!

I'm trying to hack together a little tool to help me parse RSS feeds. Basically, the code I currently have takes a keyword(s) and prints the articles that have that word in the title. Here is the code:

use 5.14.2; use strict; use warnings; use XML::RSSLite; use LWP::Simple; my @keywords = qw(approach); my $URL = 'http://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/mainsection/rss'; my $content = get($URL); my %result; parseRSS(\%result, \$content); my $re = join "|", @keywords; $re = qr/\b(?:$re)\b/i; foreach my $item (@{ $result{items} }) { my $title = $item->{title}; $title =~ s{\s+}{ }; $title =~ s{^\s+}{ }; $title =~ s{\s+$}{ }; if ($title =~ /$re/) { print "$title\n\t$item->{link}\n\n"; } }

This gives me the desired effect with one url, but I need to parse ~20 of these and print the articles from all of them.

I attempted to do this by turning $URL into an array (by making it @URL), and changed that variable throughout the code, but that just gave me several errors.

So, my question is, how can I parse multiple RSS feeds in one script and have all of the output formatted the same way into the same file?

--perl.j

  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
