anyone have a tutorial or know of a gem to display RSS feeds in ruby? i want to be able to give the ruby code a url for the rss and have it display the contents in a normal view (not rss code).

Thanks!

Uh, google "Ruby RSS"?

granted i found http://www.rubyrss.com/ which explained that rubyrss gem exists, but it doesn't lay out how to work with the parsed feed. I also found http://www.bencurtis.com/archives/20...ds-with-rails/ but i'm not interested in pulling feeds from a database.

i think i found something that works; for those interested check out: http://sporkmonger.com/projects/feedtools/

Presumably it uses the same properties as the corresponding RSS generator; a quick look at the source confirms I'm correct. It appears to be a just a basic wrapper over simple-rss though, so you could just download that (gem install simple-rss)
