Newsweek Tech and Science feed

From this feed
http://feeds.newsweek.com/headlines/technology/science, I tried rewrite link with this pattern:
http://*.\.msnbc\.msn\.com/*./newsweek/from/RSS/$
to
$&/print/1/displaymode/1098/

I have not been be able to get the results I want. Is my regexp correct?

I think that doesn't work because the feed contains urls like this one:

http://feeds.newsweek.com/headlines/...y/science?m=56

- and not the msnbc urls to which you are redirected when you click on a feed item.

You may want to try it out with the direct RSS feed from MSNBC:
http://rss.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032117/device/rss/rss.xml

via http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5216556/

Thanks Alexander for your suggestion. I have tried the above rule with http://rss.msnbc.msn.com/id/3637971/device/rss/rss.xml but still has not been successful.

Well the print pages a little bit different on msnbc. You want to turn e.g.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12011437...week/from/RSS/
into
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12011437...playmode/1098/

So that's pretty easy, you only need to attach print/1/displaymode/1098/ to each feed item's URL. Try:

Pattern:
http://www\.msnbc\.msn\.com/id/(\d+)/site/newsweek/from/RSS/

Rewrite to:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/$1/site/newsweek/from/RSS/print/1/displaymode/1098/

I haven't tested this myself but I think it should work.

Yes, I thought this should be straight forward. However, the rules don't seem to take effect on this site.

Following the example in the showcase, the following pattern finally works:
(http://www\.msnbc\.msn\.com/id)/(.*\d)/(site/newsweek/from/RSS)/

$1/$2/$3/print/1/displaymode/1098/
