Retrieve rss feed

Since years I try programming in Basic V under RISC OS again, my knowledge is not up to date.

The program I’m working on needs to contact a website and retrieve an rss file from there. It’s something similar to what Malcolm Hussain-Gambles did in WeatherUK.

Can anyone tell me what I need (modules) and how to implement it in my program?

Regards

wget from:

Thank you, Kevin.

I am trying it for days now and I encounter three problems. This is the line in my program:

1 when my program starts, it fetches the file and then stops loading, the icon does not appear on the iconbar,
2 the output is not in the directory specified, but in the root,
3 I want different numbers instead of just 2657832. I tried a variable but that doesn’t work.

Do you have any idea?

I use:

SYS “Wimp_StartTask”,"wget ….

After the url use -O for the output location and file name.

Have a look at my MACaddress app, as that uses wget:

A complete different approach, Kevin, it runs brilliant, thank you. Can I send a Dutch translation to your email adress?

I take that is for MACAdd, it has a Dutch instructions, but I will accept a better one though.
