Hi Roy,
    I am posting a xslt that filters the news by searching for any news that has "Troops" and "Pope" in the title of the news. I can send you the complete par if you email me your address at [email protected] You owe me lunch buddy. :). The following xslt is for http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/world feed.
[code]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/rss/channel">
<a class="urLnk"><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="link"/></xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of select="title"/></a>
<xsl:for-each select="item">
<xsl:variable name="titlestring"><xsl:value-of select="title"></xsl:value-of></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="pope">Pope</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="troops">Troops</xsl:variable>
<xsl:if test="contains($titlestring,$pope) or contains($titlestring,$troops)">
<table>
    <tr>
         <td class="urTxtStd">
              <a class="urLnk"><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="link"/></xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of select="title"/></a>
         </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
         <td class="urTxtStd">
             <xsl:value-of select="description"/>
         </td>
    </tr>
</table>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>[/code]
