geekraver, your app is tantalizingly good . . . but I'm getting killed on the feed I'm trying to save (The Economist print edition). There seem to be two big hurdles the way they have the feed set up:

1) It's hosted by a second party, so there's an intermediary link through pheedo.com that then points the browser back to the article at economist.com.

2) The articles at economist.com are stored in different directories (e.g. ".../opinion/," ".../world/la/"). This seems to be fouling up my efforts to change a "displaystory.cfm?story_id=" into a "PrinterFriendly.cfm?story_id=" with just one set of regular expressions. And it's hard to tell if I'm properly sidestepping the pheedo.com blind alley.

Help?
