Question PluckyX

This is one of those headline grabbing programs. It looks cool but does not have macosxhints as one of the choices. I'd like to add it. Can anyone tell me what the RegEx would be. For MacSlash it's
<item[^>]*>\s*<title>([^<]+)</title>\s*<link>([^<]+)</link>

Thanks

Much easier than that!

I'd never heard of PluckyX so I downloaded it tonight to have a look. It's a pretty cool little program, and adding macosxhints support is actually quite easy. Here's how...

When PluckyX starts up, click the Sources button. In the dialog box that opens, type in a name (macosxhints.com), and enter this for the URL:

http://www.macosxhints.com/backend/geeklog.rdf

This is a special file that Geeklog (the engine I use to create macosxhints) creates each time news stories are added to the site. Leave the 'RegEx' and 'Fields' fields empty, then select 'RSS'RDF' from the 'Sources' field. You'll get a message about how PluckyX handles these file types automatically. Hit the 'Add' button and you're done.

In the main window again, hit 'Refetch' and you should see the latest macosxhints' headlines.

-rob.
