RE: Parsing RSS/RDF Help...

[Tom Woestman]

Neal,   If the data within the CDATA tag is XML you could extract and parse it with something like the following:   <cfset parsedContent = xmlParse(...content.xmlText)>   Where ... is the path to the <content:encoded> tag.    If the data is not XML data then you just extract it with the .xmlText method I believe.  (caviat - I have not extracted data wrapped in the CDATA tags for a couple of years now)   Hope this helps, Tom     From: Bailey, Neal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 08, 2004 11:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Parsing RSS/RDF Help...
