RSS Feed Collector — Export Multiple RSS Feeds into a Structured Text File

I need a small utility that retrieves content from a fixed list of RSS feeds and exports the results into a simple text file for review. This is a narrowly scoped data collection task — not an AI project, not a data science project, and not a content analysis project. The tool should: accept a list of RSS feed URLs; retrieve new RSS items; extract basic fields; output the results into a readable text file; preserve the original article title, date, source, and URL. The purpose is simply to eliminate manual copying and pasting of RSS feed contents. The first version should prioritize reliability and simplicity over advanced features. Required Functionality The script/tool should: Input A list of RSS URLs: Example: feed_1.xml feed_2.xml feed_3.xml ... ________________________________________ Output A text file such as: RSS_EXPORT_2026-07-13.txt containing: SOURCE: LP-HIRE CORE DATE: 2026-07-13 TITLE: Example Article Title URL: https://example.com/article DESCRIPTION: Article summary text -------------------------------- ________________________________________ Deliverable A working RSS feed extraction utility with simple instructions for use. Deliverables: 1. Source code. 2. Executable instructions. 3. Sample output file. 4. Ability to add/remove RSS feeds by editing a simple configuration file. ________________________________________ Out of Scope The project does not include: • AI analysis; • article classification; • sentiment analysis; • dashboards; • web scraping; • database development; • hosting; • ongoing maintenance.
