Excluding articles

[Steven630]

In the new york time recipe, there is

excludeSections =

Which makes me wonder if it is possible to exclude articles like that (when the title matches, the article is excluded? Say, if an article is titled "ABC" Is there something like

excludeArticles = ['ABC']

and this article (rather than the section) will be excluded from downloading (while an article called "ABC and D" will be kept even though ABC is included in the title.)

Thank you.

Sure, you can do whatever you want in a recipe, since every aspect of the base class behavior can be changed by overriding the appropriate methods. IN this case you will need to override either parse_index or build_index or get_feed in your recipe, depending on how the list of articles is created.

I don't really know how to do that. I'm tweaking with The Economist recipe and want to exclude the article entitled "Trade, exchange rates, budget balances and interest rates". Could you please tell me what I should do?
