Read XML attributes from RSS internet link

[OriBre1]

I am very new to LabVIEW, and I am trying to determine the best way to read information an RSS link. Specfically, I would like to read data from a Yahoo! Weather RSS like http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=2502265. I would like to extract the temperature from <yweather: condition temp="[##]>, the wind speed from <yweather:wind speed="[##]">, and the text description from <yweather:condition text="[text]".

I have looked into some XML parsing solutions like EasyXML, but I wonder if they are too much for what may be a simple task. I would appreciate any input on my current problem. Thanks.

Howdy,

It looks like EasyXML would make you life a little easier. You can search the LabVIEW Example Finder (Help menu->Find Examples) for XML examples. Other than that you would have to navigate to the website and parse the website source and use the LabVIW String Functions.
