Hi, Has anyone tried to get current or daily range temperature using Unix/Linux command line ? I'm using wget but I was wondering if there's an easier way to do this.

Here's what I'm doing :

        wget -O tempx http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=75050                          {get temp for zip code 75050}

        then I do a

        grep yweather:forecast tempx | head -n 1

        and now I'm stuck on how to parse the word low and high from this line into a $String :

                <yweather:forecast day="Tue" date="16 Apr 2013" low="71" high="87" text="Partly Cloudy" code="30" />


        LOW=' grep yweather:forecast tempx | head -n 1 | search "low" bring "71"`
        HIGH=' grep yweather:forecast tempx | head -n 1 | search "high" bring "87"`     <-- kinda deal ?

Any ideas?
