Sorry flatluigi, but we can't support individual feeds. If you want to solve the issue yourself, you should read up on "regular expressions" and examine the URLs of some of the sample feeds provided in the original post.

I'm not as much of a geek as I'd like - how would I strip this feed of all the cruft? http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/

Currently, it includes the article title and the comments. There's a few more unwanted bits, but those two are the most annoying.

Sumedh: the script works by examining the HTML structure of the pages linked in the feed and looking for similarities between them. A source like Google News, which points at entirely different sites, is never going to work.

Hi...

I tried a URL of Google news RSS feed...

But it spit kind of an empty RSS? :)

I'm afraid I don't know what a "java converted url feed reader" is. I can say with confidence that the tool works fine with a variety of other newsreaders, though.

I just found this and it has proven useful! I am using it as a substitute for a frame, but the only problem I have is that when I view the pasted feed, it does not update on my java converted url feed reader. Is this a bug or is it supposed to not update automatically?

Amazingly useful tool. I'm

Amazingly useful tool. I'm looking to incorporate this on my financial website, with all sources cited, to present multiple sources in an organized manner. Would I be able to use your code?

Run my yahoo pipe for the new yorker through the full-text rss algorithm and it should work: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=15a49d24d2cd11f45225dca98aa34...

If you use the regex feature in yahoo pipes you can change the link to the printable version of the article, which doesn't have the page problem.

I'm glad to hear you've found the site useful, but no, I'm afraid there's no way to automatically remove pagination from sites. It would be possible to write scripts to retrieve that content, but it would have to be on a site-by-site basis. That's not a direction in which I want to take the tool, I'm afraid.

Hi there, I've been using this site and have found it extremely useful.

However, it doesn't seem to work when the original article is presented on multiple pages. For example, I tried the New Yorker rss and there wasn't any problem with shorter articles, but the longer ones were only retrieved for the first page.

Is there a way to automatically get the rest of a multi-page article?

Dear Tom!

Thanks for Cyrillic! It works now!

Tom — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 11:01:46 -0700

BoD: As you might imagine, the algorithm relies on clues within the feed to extract the full text of the entry from the the actual page. One of the most important of those clues is the RSS entry text, which is assumed to be present on the page. In cases like this IBM feed, where the feed text is simply an RSS-only summary of the content, the algorithm will fail.

Any idea why I get "full

Any idea why I get "full text retrieval error" for this particular feed: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/portal/PortletStateInfo/spacejsp/tp.js...

Maybe it is the use of CDATA inside the link tag?

Thanks for your help.

Very interesting but I get full text failed message when using google news rss? I want full text on my smartphone so it can download automatically in the reader and not force me to go to websites which are too slow to render on the phone browser.
