Hi there,
for those who are interested, I added two new features to getfeed and I thought some one might find it useful.
- 1. It's now possible to also create an RSS feed out of the ones read by getfeed.pl.
Dunno if this is worth anything at all... maybe you know....
- If you're not interested in reading "yesterday's news", but only want to get what hasn't been gotten before, maybe the -D (or --delta) switch is something for you. With that switch the items of the current run are saved in a history file and subsequent runs will check its items against the content of the file, and only those items not previously saved will be shown in the output.
Code:
getfeed V0.10 (c) by T.Berndt
This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRENTY.
usage: getfeed [...] [-o <outfile>] [-f] <feed> [<feed_1> ...]
-f <feed>[;<start>;<stop>;<filter>;<server>;<srcURL>;<toURLa>;<toURLb>]
: <feed> is a URL or a filenmae.
-d <directory: store the feeds (and images) in <directory>
-o <outfile> : saves output into <outfile>
-t <title> : Title of this news' edition
-r : Retrieve and append linked atricles. Default: no
-R <file> : Reads <file> instead of .getfeedrc
-e <charset> : Use <charset> for encoding. Default: UTF-8
-F <format> : Output format: html(obvious), tex(LaTeX) or rss Default: html
-S <style> : Reads <style> and adds its content as style-information.
-P <package> : Adds a \usepackage{<package>} into the LaTeX-file
-C <cmd> : Execute <cmd>
-m : format text in two columns
-a : Auto-name the output as news_YYYYMMDD.<format> Default: no
-v : Print debugging info to STDERR/<log>.
-s : Suppress all output. Default: no (i.e. not silent)
-D : Delta mode includes only new items since the last runt
-l <log> : Writes debugging information to <log>
So far for now.
