Thank you. I don't use Linux but I assume these scripts are for Linux only.
I run win10x64 and would like to do exactly the same thing but different 
content. I can't find any apps or programs for windows that will do
this. 
I'll keep searching but I don't think I'll find anything.
Again thank you, the info is appreciated.
If you think of any apps or prgs that would pull from an RSS feed,
export/modify the data to a txt file I would be very grateful.
