rty,
thanks for your help but I still am at a loss. i added the print page lines and now get less. i don't think i set up the split right (copy and paste from tech review and altered)
Code:
class AdvancedUserRecipe1279635146(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = u'EMS1'
oldest_article = 7
max_articles_per_feed = 100
use_embedded_content = False
feeds = [(u'columnist', u'http://www.ems1.com/ems-rss-feeds/columnists.xml'),
(u'topics', u'http://www.ems1.com/ems-rss-feeds/topics.xml'),
(u'most popular', u'http://www.ems1.com/ems-rss-feeds/most-popular-articles.xml'),
(u'EMS Tips', u'http://www.ems1.com/ems-rss-feeds/tips.xml'),
(u'Daily news', u'http://www.ems1.com/ems-rss-feeds/news.xml')]
def print_version(self, url):
baseurl='http://www.ems1.com/print.asp?act=print&vid='
split1 = string.split(url,"/")
xxx=split1 [4]
split2= string.split(xxx,"-")
s = baseurl + split2[0]
return s
