Importing and filtering RSS feeds into nodes

I'm looking for the best way to import a feed, say BBC News and filter through all the content so only articles containing a keyword are stored in the database. I'd like each item to be shown as a node of a specific content type and for it to be updated every given time interval. Is there a straightforward way to do this? (I don't have much experience in php at all so be specific please)

Thanks!

Use the Feeds module to import the nodes.

Use the Rules module + Cron to run automated actions on your nodes.

I'm not sure how to filter out the content, but these two modules should get you started. TIP: It would almost better to have the content filtered before you import the nodes into Drupal.

Before going with the feeds module, be sure to review the project bugs list first (https://drupal.org/project/issues/feeds?categories=bug). This is not a very solid module. For example, feeds cannot update via cron, they have to be updated manually. This alone should be a showstopper for most folks.

I'm only talking about the D6 version.

The Feeds module has the ability to create nodes from an RSS feed. Once setup, it can run at regular intervals.

In addition the Feeds Tamper module can help you filter based on keywords.
