I'd like to find a Terminal command that can pull the file at http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=SOMEUSERNAME&count=1 and parse it to find a user's Twitter status. The status is inside the "statuses -> status -> text" location on the tree.
I've looked into libxml and xmllint. I think I'm on the right track with xmllint, but I'm not sure. With xmllint, I know I could do xmllint --shell file.xml
and then cat //statuses/status/text
. But, I'd prefer to be able to do some type of command like CURL | XMLLINT | SED that would download the file, parse it, and return the status in one fell swoop.
