A technical one here...

I struggled for hours trying to figure out how to parse OPML files (the popular way for storing lists of RSS feeds in one place) using Active Server Pages (ASP), classic not .NET. I finally found a mixture between a solution to something similar to OPML and a bit of adaptation on my part.

If you need it, I hope this helps:



dim xmlDom, oNode, nodeCol
set xmlDom = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.4.0")
xmlDom.load(FILENAME) ' Point this to the relevant OPML file

if(xmlDom.parseError <> 0) then
Response.Write("Invalid XML loaded. " & xmlDom.parseError.reason)
Response.End
end if

if xmlDom.documentElement is nothing then
Response.Write("Invalid XML loaded. No root tag exists")
Response.End
end if

set oNode = xmlDom.documentElement.selectSingleNode("opml")
if not oNode is nothing then
Response.Write("Description: " & oNode.text & "
")
end if

set nodeCol = xmlDom.documentElement.selectNodes("body/outline")
for each oNode in nodeCol
FeedTitle = oNode.getAttribute("title")
FeedURL = oNode.getAttribute("xmlUrl")

' DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH THESE VARIABLES HERE

next

Set nodeCol = Nothing
Set xmlDom = Nothing
