Vista - RSS homepage

Greetings;

$a = ([xml](new-object
net.webclient).downloadstring("http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/rss.aspx")).rss.channel.item
| format-table title,link,pubdate | convertto-html

I use the following to create an html page to view my rss feeds. How do I
make the link object into an html anchor that goes to the blog?
select-object link | convertto-html link?

Hi Braden,

You can generate the anchor with a new calculated property. The problem is
convertto-html renders the 'less-than' and 'greater-than'
signs HTML Entity (< and &gt , so replace them and send the output to
a file.


$a = ([xml](new-object net.webclient).downloadstring("http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/rss.aspx")).rss.channel.item
$link = @{n="link";e={"<a href='$($_.link)'>$($_.title)</a>"}}
$a | select $link,title,pubdate | convertto-html | % {$_.replace("&lt;","<").replace("&gt;",">")}
| set-content .\temp\rss.html

sweet

while I've seen many cool scripts posted by a number of you most of them I
have to look at with envy. I don't have MOM, SMS, SQL or any of the dozen or
so services running at home

but this I can use from the comfort of my notebook; I'm saving this in my
repository

second thought its probably good I don't them
