Generic XML can be parsed with SXML parser (available on THIS page).

There are also a lot of other libraries that can help, including a Tcl wrapper for Expat.

Parsing rss can be done pretty easily because of the predefined structure.
Here's a quick example to get you started:

Code:

# fetch the channel element...if {[regexp -nocase {.+?} $xml xml]} {  # loop through the items:  foreach item [regexp -all -inline -nocase {.+?} $xml] {    # extract what ever you need from each item in here :)  }} else {  # no/empty channel element - what to do?}

I have brought this topic up in the past, but was told there wasn't proper support for it to work. I was wondering if anyone has seen/used a script that would be able to parse/display xml and/or rdf and/or rss files. There must be a simple set of rules that could be set, or even if you needed to customize a file for a specific website, I am looking for detailed information on how this could be done. Thank you - Tony.
