True but then I'll bet somebody's got an XSL sheet somewhere that
simply converts the various formats to a single consistent format and
you could just run the feeds through that and then parse them with CF.
At least -- if it'd been something I had to deal with routinely,
that's exactly what I
Umm... An XSL sheet...
It's all XML -- any given module is xml -- pick the nodes you want to
recongize and decide on a strategy for converting those into your own
preferred consistent format. This can all be done in a single XSL
sheet, with the possible exception of date/time formats, though
Not sure if its any use but I did something related. Its been available for
download for some time. Basically its a coldfusion equivalent of carp
wrapped in a cfc. You can check it out here.

Why would you need it? RSS is XML, you should be able to just write
your own parser...

authors who made the same assumption. :D

XSL'll only help you if you want to format the RSS in another text
format, not if you want to rip it out for some other purpose (store in
DB, or whatever).

That's not true either... because SQL queries are text, you could create (or
modify) an XSL sheet that formats the information to insert it into a database.

That'd be included in another text format, but anyway. Wouldn't be
a very nice way to do it though, because chances are good that if
you're going to store the feed data in a DB for later use, you'll
probably want to do some processing to it. Might be parsing dates and
adjusting the time zone,
Does anyone know if the com.macromedia.rssu.Parser component is included in
CFMX 7? If not, and I don't have DRK 4, how do I get it?
Thank you.

I don't know about that parser, but I've used this one:

Renamed the title as per Isaac. Its not quite an aggregator. I'll
call it a parser. Its main functionality is related to SEO, to
maintain active content on a site.
Hope you can use it Russ.
I posted it here on my site. http://webmachineinc.com/carpcfml.html.
