Hello all,

I am trying to user the RSS2 parser to parse the weather feed from  
weatherBug.

i know how to parse the tags without colon, it just as easy as:  
“result.channel.title”

but how to i parse something with a colon like aws:forecast? how do  
i write the code?

the tag is under channel tag and it looks like this:  
\<aws:weather xmlns:aws=“[Cloud Computing Services - Amazon Web Services (AWS)](http://www.aws.com/aws)”\>

\<aws:api version=“2.0” /\>aws:WebURL[http://web.live.weatherbug.com/](http://web.live.weatherbug.com/)  
World/Page/SetWorldStation.aspx?  
zcode=Z5546&city\_id=61301&world\_stat=&lid=WSTAT\</  
aws:WebURL\>

\<aws:forecasts type=“Detailed” date=“Sun, 30 Sep 2007 00:00:00  
GMT”\>aws:locationaws:cityWestminster\</  
aws:city\>aws:citycode61301\</aws:citycode\>aws:countryUnited  
Kingdom\</aws:country\>\</aws:location\>
