Loop and instance variable problem

Rails
1

I have a loop for parsing each rss feed

@address.each do |address|
@feed = SimpleRSS.parse open(address.feed)
end

the problem is my my instance variable @feed just gets overwritten so
basically it displays the last parsed feed

how can i store each feed without it been overwrited so i can display it
in my view?

regards

@feeds = []
@address.each do |address|
@feeds << SimpleRSS.parse open(address.feed)
end

In your view
@feeds.each do |fee|
…
end

Hi thanks for quick reply, i tried using << symbol before and it just
gave me a syntax error indicating theres somethings wrong around parse.

Or more simply:

@feeds = @address.map {|address| SimpleRSS.parse(open(address.feed)) }

i just tried this with the built in rails rss parser and seems to work
fine. must be an issue with simple rss im guessing.
