Here’s a special service to users with German language skills – and a challenge to adjust the code for everyone else: the code below uses the RSS feed from a major German news magazine, opens a selection window where you can select one or more articles, and then opens the selected articles in your default browser:
# URL to RSS Feed $url = 'http://www.spiegel.de/schlagzeilen/index.rss' $xml = New-Object -TypeName XML $xml.Load($url) # the subproperties (rss.channel.item) depend on the RSS feed you use # and may be named differently $xml.rss.channel.item | Select-Object -Property title, link | Out-GridView -Title 'What would you like to read today?' -OutputMode Multiple | ForEach-Object { Start-Process $_.link }
The basic design is always the same: to adjust the code to another RSS feed, simply explore the properties (the nested structure of the underlying XML).
