I shall try to be tidier.

I hope I didn't sound too grumpy

Here is my adjusted code:

Spoiler:

class AdvancedUserRecipe1280684448(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title          = u'Twisting the Hellmouth'
    oldest_article = 7
    max_articles_per_feed = 100

    feeds          = [(u'Latest', u'http://www.tthfanfic.org/rss.php')]

 def print_version(self, url):
        split1 = url.split("/")
        xxx = split1[3]
        split2 = xxx.split("-")
        artid =  split2[1]
        print "artid is: ', artid
        return 'http://www.tthfanfic.org/wholestory.php?no=' + artid + '&format=print'

It's almost perfect

I get the error message

"ERROR: Invalid input: Could not create recipe. Error: unindent does not match any outer indentation level (recipe8.py, line 11)" when trying to update it.

You had a space in front of the def print_version. Python is picky about indents. I made a typo that you copied when I pasted in the quotes. Because you pasted in the code tags, (which preserves indents) I was able to easily spot it.

Try this:

Spoiler:

class AdvancedUserRecipe1280684448(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title          = u'Twisting the Hellmouth'
    oldest_article = 7
    max_articles_per_feed = 100

    feeds          = [(u'Latest', u'http://www.tthfanfic.org/rss.php')]

def print_version(self, url):
    split1 = url.split("/")
    xxx = split1[3]
    split2 = xxx.split("-")
    artid =  split2[1]
    print 'artid is: ', artid
    return 'http://www.tthfanfic.org/wholestory.php?no=' + artid + '&format=print'

Also, what are the "numbers/subscripts" you mention? Are they the "/" marks in the URL?

I wasn't sure xxx = split1[3] was right, it might have been xxx = split1[4], but I've now checked them - the recipe ran OK.
