this was inspired by FoxLeader's post
http://www.indigorose.com/forums/sho...77&postcount=6

its a simple set of actions to enable you to read rss feeds in your applications

AMS_RSS.Download()
This will return the local filepath of the downloaded file use this variable in all other actions to access the rss feed it works this way because XML.Load will only allow 1 xml file open at a time this way you can open many rss feeds useing varables or a table. if any error a blank string ("") is returned.

AMS_RSS.LoadLinks()
This will load the links from a rss xml file and return a table of values
For v1 (tb.Title[INDEX], tb.Desc[INDEX], tb.Link[INDEX])
For v2 (tb.Title[INDEX], tb.Desc[INDEX], tb.Link[INDEX], tbPubDate[INDEX], tbGUID[INDEX])
if any error -1 is returned

AMS_RSS.CountLinks()
This will count the links in the rss feed
returns number of links, if any error (-1) is returned.

AMS_RSS.GetVesion()
This will get the version of the rss feed
returnd a number, if any error (-1) is returned.

details on the arguments can be found in the action editors descriptions

put AMS_RSS.xml in your Data\Actions folder and include the script or add to globals ot add to includeed files bla bla bla, its a script, use how you like

There's alot of useful info in this example and in the AMS Help files. I bet if you look there you find your anwsers.

[GoOgLe]

i dont understand why this example dont support uneuropian characters (fonts) even thought choosing country font script ???

[Imagine Programming]

Well that depends on the feed you're reading, every feed has a different charset in use.

[GoOgLe]

utf 8 charset

but also listboxes doesnt show them either !!!

[Imagine Programming]

What's the feed's url?

[GoOgLe]

is feed urls importand ?

[Imagine Programming]

is feed urls importand ?

Well yes, the feeds charset is the charset you have got to use. if the feed has characters only supported by Unicode or ISO, then UTF-8 won't work fine
