This is a pretty cool (but mostly useless) PowerShell script that uses the System.Net.Webclient class and the DownloadString method. It pulls an RSS feed string from a URL into an XML formatted variable, and then pipes the Rss.Channel.Item property (which is where the meat of the RSS feed is held in the variable) into the format-table commandlet using the Title and Link properties of the feed to format the table.
1 2 3 | [xml]$XMLRss = (new-object net.webclient).DownloadString("http://0direction.com/blog/index.php/feed/") $XMLRss.rss.channel.item| format-table title,link |
What you should end up with is a nicely formatted table containing the title’s of the last 10 of my blog posts, and links to the corresponding posts.
