Console RSS parser with autodownloader

Does anyone know if there exists a program that can automatically
download new RSS feeds and fetch the links based on search terms, all
running from the console?

I have a home-hacked little script that works fairly decent in
performing these duties, using grep and sed to decipher the needed
parts of the feed and then performing the download via wget, but if
there was a ready-made, well working application out there already I'd
much rather use that. One of the reasons is that my script (in its
current version) tends to not play well when faced with feeds other
than the site it was originally built to work with.


I hope I made my inquiry clear enough to understand and hope to get
some ideas on this little problem of mine. :)
