How about the parser??

Yes, thanks you to all here.....

Actually i got the source(data) from one site www.moreover.com

they give me a xml formated file which prodived a lot of dayly update news link.

Now, i need some program, they call parser to get the source and print it out as normal html file......

MFK,

you can find a parser anywhere? do you use Perl, then use XML::Parser (search.cpan.org) to parse the XML. did moreover.com (for syndicated news content consider mediaxpress.com or isyndicate.com) give you an XML schema or DTD to tell you what the data will be like. probably and if so, you can feed that into XML: URLarser and use XML::Grove or something to create a forest of data.

enjoy,
