I remember when I used to be able to search within word files in PocketPC2003 but now, with WM 5.0, I can only search for the title of Word documents and not the contents within the document.
I used to just type in for example, "hot stuff", and the search engine, will look not only for the title of word documents that contains "hot stuff" but any words within the documents that contains "hot stuff". I think this feature was very helpful. I wonder why microsoft has abandoned this feature.
Here's a little contribution from myself.
I came across a "secret" URL which gives live scores from ESPN. The data was not in RSS format, so wasn't very useable.
I've gone ahead and created RSS feeds to allow people to use the info in their RSS Readers.
MLB

NFL

NCAA

WNBA

I have also attached a zip file with the php files if you care to host them yourselves.

Anyway you can do that with MLB transactions?
I've been looking and looking for a RSS feed of MLB transactions as they are reported. I play in a pretty competitve Fantasy Baseball League so any extra help is nice.
Thanks

No. The "secret" feed I found is only for the scores.
Here are ESPN's standard RSS Feeds.
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/rss/index
I guess I miss understood your initial post. I read it to mean that you somehow automated a process.
With that thinking I was hoping you could do the samething with the transaction wire.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
David
hey MPiiiMan thanks for the info, and the feeds...im new to this rss thinggy.. and i was looking for a feed that would just give me the updated scores...is there any way to make a feed with updated odds??? or can you point me in the direction on how to make it??? thanks in advance...
Odds? No way for me to get that info.
Like I said in my first post... I just happened to stumble across a link that provided just the scores.
can you post the "secret" URL? Or if not, PM it to me?
Thanks...
Download the files above.
The URL is in there.
no idea where you got 'em. But all I can say is THANKS. The URL's are gonna save me a *LOT* of hassle.

Beautiful gesture, If you're ever in Baton Rouge I just have to buy you a beer for this discovery.
Thanks, I registered just to get this zip file.
So far, looks awesome !
Thanks again !

MLB Rumors has a good one for transactions/rumors http://feedproxy.google.com/MlbTradeRumors?format=xml
but if you want just official transactions, they also have http://feeds.feedburner.com/MLBTRTransactions
hi,
here is a mortscript to get the football data directly from:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/bottomline/scores
screenshot included. you will need to change the 'cname' variable to the name of your ISP connection. it shows schedules as well (when there are any on that page).
enjoy!!

This is awesome! I don't know much about feeds. Is there anyway from this to extract one of the teams and only display their content?
For example, I have built a mobile webapplet for iPhones (http://www.TNmobileFB.com) that has shedules and scores for the Titans and the Tennessee Vols. Right now, I'm manually editing the HTML after a game is over to update the score and indicate a win or loss. I have the schedule built but I wonder if there's a way to take this data and let it automatically populate the scores on my site once they're available?
Does that make sense??
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks for the coding on how to setup the NCAA feed via RSS.
I modified it for college football and really like it.
I was curious is you knew the URL for setting specific conference/division scores. For instance, the URL for http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/bottomline/scores gives the Top 25 since that is the default.
But I'd love to be able to set it up to be just a given division or conference, like FCS (formerly I-AA).
Any tips?
Thanks,
Q

I can't seem to find a clean simple WinMobile app to supply sports scores. Something like SportsTap for the iPhone. I came across this post and kind of liked the RSS idea. I have never messed around with this before. I loaded SPB Insight and have a question. I had to cut and paste the url's into SPB Insight. I did not see anywhere within SPB Insight that referenced PHP files. How do I use the attached files that MPIIIMan posted here, specifically the image files. I want the league logo's to show.
Thanks in advance for anyones help here.
Hi,
I have been working on a Status Ticker that posts to the carrier name panel on the Today screen.
Like Personalizer and Op-Mon except instead of your name I have it tickering bits of info.
The ticker should also show up in your dialer and on the incoming calls instead of the network carrier. On my phone it used to say "Sprint"
The TWG script was just the ticket.
I updated my script so it would ticker your sports scores and schedule.
Right now it checks the data every five minutes or so. I dont know how often it is updated but this checking period of course could be adjusted.
Once running if you want to stop it just run TWG-FootballStats2Kill.mscr
Let me know if you want it different.
Thanks.
You can get it over here:

NewsCopier
MaximumSoft NewsCopier is a freeware RSS reader. Features include:
* hiding of read articles,
* Cleartype support,
* allows feeds to be stored on your memory card,
* support for a wide variety of RSS-feed formats: RSS 1.0 (including RSS 0.9, 0.91, 0.92), RSS 2.0 and Atom

The basic user-interface is quite similar to Illium's NewsBreak, but it lacks advanced features like alerting on keywords and loggin into protected feeds.
Ok thanks, I've tried several, but I still don't know how to add the xda-developers forum to my channel list.
I would like to add some topics(or the whole forum) to the list, so when I sync it, the program downloads that topic, or just the new posts.
Anyone knows how can I do it?
Cheers,
Not sure if you can do that ... I havent seen a RSS symbol for either the forum or thread ... However I know that this can be done on other forums like HoFo ..
Maybe someone else knows how to do this ..
dont forget Egress, thats my favourite. you can even sync the entire web page from the news feed. Also choose to download pictures as part of the feed or choose which pictures to get and does podcasts.

Guys,
For those of you who succesfully installed this what steps did you take to do so? I have extracted the contents of the .xpi file for Firefox into a folder.
What happens next? How do I get this into Firefox. Appreciate the help.
WB
Have u tried wat I pm u. Press Shift and then right click the .xpi file keeping shift pressed. From the menu select "Open with..." . If a sub menu opens on "Open with..", choose "Choose program". From the dialog that appears select Firefox, if it isnt there Browse for the firefox & click ok.

Mush,
Tried the above, didn't work. However if you use the other option, which is....Open Firefox, click File --> Open File, then browse to the .xpi file, and open it, then that appears to work.
Thanks for your help. Just off to test it now.
Cheers
WB
PS Just tested it, works fine. Once again many thanks.
Thanks Mush!

Hi all, I know you can get some rss feeders that purport to download the entire article so you can read it all even offline, but I have not as yet found out how to get either Newsbreak (which I am not sure if it does) or SPB News (which does but I cant figure it out) to do this... can anyone please help me with easy to follow instructions so I can get the full article to read off line etc... thanks in advance...
Spb News can, sort of...
I am using Spb News on my HD2. It is not (and by far) the best RSS reader out there but for a selected number of feeds, there are indeed "templates" which will fetch you the full articles instead of what would otherwise just look like a worthless bunch of tweets. Here is a short extract of the developer's documentation:
Templates in Spb Insight project are intended to download and parse web documents of different kind, mostly news sites. Since different web sites have very different page formatting, a template needs to be created for every site. A template contains information about the site and code to help parse content, clean it up from menus, advertisements and so on.
The template language was created with easiness, popularity and conformity to internet standards in mind. Wide-spread internet language Jscript (a.k.a. ECMAScript) was chosen as the basic language, wrapped with XML to enable metadata processing, such as channel names etc.
One template can contain definitions for multiple channels, as there are usually several channels on one site that has the same formatting and the parsing code for them should be shared.
Despite the recent release of the renamed v2.0 (from Insight to News) bringing next to nothing new, Spb has seemingly moved their resources away from this product so that the "channels" are no longer kept up-to-date. It is now essentially a matter of trial&error to find out those feeds from the online catalogue that still can return you the full articles, or, you program yourself a template. A third option is to use one of the user-contributed templates directly from the forum.
Good luck and happy news reading!
Z.
Thanks for the info, I was hoping there would be an easy (ier) solution as I am not that savvy with technamolology...
I will have a look and see if I cant figure it all out... cheers.
