Well I am currently modifiying my good old A4k to become a small rexx server (n new idea, i know anyway, it is fun )
To have at least something useful on it (beside all the little toys ) I thought it might be a good idea to include a rss newsreader which displays news from amiga-news.de and morphos-news.de
Well the script works, unfortunatelly it "fails" when it has special characters like ä ö ü ß included. They need to be converted, but i have no idea how?
here is the script:
/* #! sys:rexxc/rx **/
/* $VER: Clarissa Newsticker 1.0 (26.06.04)*/


address command 'c:httpresume >nil: URL http://www.amiga-news.de/de/backends/news/index.rss OF ram:ande OVERWRITE'



if Open(in,"ram:ande",read) then do

rssfeed = ReadLn(in)

do while (~eof(in))

parse var rssfeed "<title>" text "</title>"

if text ~= "" then

title = text

parse var rssfeed "<link>" text "</link>"

if text ~= "" then

link = text

if index(rssfeed,"</item>") > 0 then do

say '<BR>'

say '<IMG src="pics/aosk.png" alt="aosk.png" width="16" height="15"><A HREF="'link'">' title '</A>'


end

rssfeed = ReadLn(in)

end

say '<BR>'

call Close(in)

end

Any idea how this could be done?

Another thing is, i thought it would be also cool to have the dnet stats from peg and Amiga displayed online. I found a loganalyzer package on aminet which should actually do exact that what i need, analyze the logfiles and make a nice html page. unfortunatelly it seems to be broken ( I guess there where several changes in the dnetc logfile structure) so perhaps anyone can help to make it "working" again?

You could have a look at MUIrdf:
http://www.amiganiac.net/files_4.htm
It's written with Arexx and rxMUI.

robin:
Well i had allready a look into it, but i guess my arexx skills are near zero (Actually i can`t do much more then open other progs and remote them etc) I guess it shouldn`t be that hard to search and replace strings in a textfile, but.. well as i said, no idea

Here is the main part, output of this script is a table:
