Well putting it into the RSS or XML format is easy as cake. Reading it back out to this point seems near impossible. I have been working on a personal app that will use the weather.gov cap feeds, and I find that its almost impossible to get the info out of the feed. Do you have some sort of script that will do this? (If you don\'t want me using a script you\'ve made, thats no problem, I just want to learn out to write my own scripts to do this and for other XML feeds) If you can offer any suggestions or ideas as to how this CAP feed might be parsed (I mainly just want the event and the description out of the CAP file. Thanks for any help you can provide. Ya know, I thought RSS and XML were suppose to make it way easy for content to be passed around to everyone and be easily readable.
