Could use some help, guys.



Bottom right corner: how do I make RSS right-align properly?

~/.scripts/FeedReaderAndParser.sh

#!/bin/bash
curl -s --connect-timeout 30 http://www.abc.net.au/news/indexes/world/rss.xml | grep -o '<title>.*' | head -n 7 | tail -n 5 | sed -e 's/<title>/${alignr -5}/g' | sed -e 's/<\/title>//g'

You'll have to play with the head and tail values to increase the number of shown titles, but the head value has to be the tail value increased by 2. The value has to be applied to make the last unknown character (some $us50 at the end of each right aligned line) not to be displayed...

conky

${execpi 60 ~/.scripts/FeedReaderAndParser.sh}

Try this , could have some positive results...

Gentlemen and Ladies - it has been far too long!

I remember helping Bruce M. out with some of his conky setups probably a year or so ago! My, how time flies lol.


I've forgotten most (if not all) of my conky variables, but rest assured; I shall be returning with a killer setup soon!

Hi Tristam,

Long time no see. How are you? Where have you been?
Yup, almost a year now, my first post was 24 Dec, 2007 (Page 116 if anyone is interested) and I lived here, and dominated the thread with Conky 101 type questions, for a couple of weeks. Had been using Linux for 5 months and was a green behind the ears (still am in many ways).

But now, conky is my way of helping the Ubuntu Community. My way of saying "Thanks" to my mentors from last year.

Good to see you again.
Chimo!
Bruce

For some reason the ${alignr} in the script screws up the number of lines, limiting the feed to 4 or 5 lines. I tried another RSS script I found online and when I added ${alignr) in the appropriate sed line, it began having the same difficulty.
