Screen scraping your way into RSS
(Page 3 out of 3)In this tutorial I have shown you how to create a RSS feed from a website that does not have a RSS feed themselves yet. Though the regular expression is different for each website, the principle is exactly the same.
One thing I should mention is that you shouldn�t immediately screen scrape a website�s content. E-mail them first about a RSS feed. Who knows, they might set one up themselves, and that would be even better.

When trying to view the code:
Security Alert! Breach has been logged for review (IP Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).

I’m getting the same in Firefox.

Viewing the code in Internet Explorer 6 works fine. Thanks for posting this example! :)

The code works great!
How could I scrape just meta data or links ect into a text file?
Thanks for any input.
