How do I link live currency exchange rates to my iPhone app? First, anyone know any sites where I can get the exchange rates? And second, how do I link that to my app? I want to do what this app does. http://the-dream.co.uk/currencee/

A: 

My first port of call would be to find a webservice that provides currency rates with a public API. Then you'd need to integrate some functionality into your app that communicates with the API in order to get the information you need.

There might be some services that offer the exchange rates in an RSS feed or similar feed. You could then parse the XML downloaded from that feed into some objects that you can use in your app.

Okay, I found one with RSS. Say it says: The currency for today is bla bla. How do I just get the currency not the "The currency for today is"?
