What I have so far works.

Thank you :)

Hello. I am entirely new to Processing as of Wednesday. I am preparing an installation for class that will pull posts from a blog, randomize the sentence structure and display them. My coding may not be up to par as I am so new, but I have a quick question.

I am trying to parse the <title> data from the xml on the blog I am pointing at and write it to "sourcefile.txt." So far all that the program will write to the file is "[<title>, <title>, <title>]." I'm not really sure about how to pull the text out from in between the title tags and I am having a rough time here as a newbie. Ideally I would like the titles alone to be displayed in this manner "Lets write a story together. Test."

Let me know if you can help!

Thanks :)
