Question

I love it geekraver (I need to macro that statement for future posts!)

Can you expound a little on what the $link variable expresses? Is it the content of the LinkElement? I'm having a bit of a lerning curve on working this out.

For instance, I'm attempting the following, which by all examiniation of the BBC example, should work (?!)

Site: Reuters Top Stories
URL: http://feeds.reuters.com/reuters/topNews/
LineElement: guid
LinkProcessor: get http://today.reuters.com/misc/PrinterFriendlyPopup.aspx?type=topNews&storyID=$li nk

A sample GUID tag for this RSS feed is:
<guid isPermaLink="false">2006-11-02T233457Z_01_N02182890_RTRUKOC_0_US-USA-ELECTIONS-BUSH.xml</guid>

If I paste what I think it's trying to compile in RSS2book by using the GUID contents as represented by $link, it should give this:
http://today.reuters.com/misc/Printe...TIONS-BUSH.xml

It yields the print version in a brower, but no go in RSS2book.

Thanks for your efforts...
