    <p>Im trying to fix a Python script which takes the posts from a specific RSS feed and strips them down and inputs them into a text file. As you can see beneath, there are two main print functions. One prints only to the shell once run, but it shows <em>all</em> of the posts, which is what I want it to do. Now, the second part is where the problem lies. It only prints out the <em>last</em> post of the RSS feed into a text, not the whole thing, as the first function does. I've also tried to make the second function (f = open()) the same way as the first with the %s instead of a new print-line pr. variable.</p> <p>If anyone could tell me why the script doesnt post more than one (the last) post of the RSS feed into the text, but the whole thing in the shell, and what modifications I need to fix it, I would really appreciate it :)</p> <p>Here is the code:</p> <pre><code>import urllib import sys import xml.dom.minidom #The url of the feed address = 'http://www.vg.no/export/Alle/rdf.hbs?kat=nyheter' #Our actual xml document document = xml.dom.minidom.parse(urllib.urlopen(address)) for item in document.getElementsByTagName('item'): title = item.getElementsByTagName('title')[0].firstChild.data link = item.getElementsByTagName('link')[0].firstChild.data description = item.getElementsByTagName('description')[0].firstChild.data str = link.strip("http://go.vg.no/cgi-bin/go.cgi/rssart/") print "\n" print "------------------------------------------------------------------" print '''"%s"\n\n%s\n\n(%s)''' % (title.encode('UTF8', 'replace'), description.encode('UTF8','replace'), str.encode('UTF8','replace')) print "------------------------------------------------------------------" print "\n" f = open('lawl.txt','w') print &gt;&gt;f, "----------------------Nyeste paa VG-------------------------------" print &gt;&gt;f, title.encode('UTF8','replace') print &gt;&gt;f, description.encode('UTF8','replace') print &gt;&gt;f, str.encode('UTF8','replace') print &gt;&gt;f, "------------------------------------------------------------------" print &gt;&gt;f, "\n" </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
