Get RSS Feeds through LabVIEW

[CodE]

Hi all,

I am developing an application which would behave like a normal RSS feed reader. The VI would connect to the server specified and show the RSS feeds in a right to left scrolling pattern.

Could anyone please help me?

In order to manipulate the data received in an RSS feed, you need to be able to parse XML. Rather than coding this yourself, you might want to look at the JKI EasyXML Toolkit. It includes an example for reading RSS feeds.

And here is an example of an RSS generator.

Thanks for the links!

Btw I did it by using simple datasocket functions yesterday.

The only thing I need to get done now is creation of a left to right scrolling text at the bottom of my screen, where I would be feeding NEWS updates.

The scrolling part could be done with normal string functions, but then the scrolling effect isnt smooth.

Is there any other way to do this?

You can try using a picture control.
