   I've taken much of the code from the wordpress-import.php file so I know I am on the right path. But.. I'm stuck trying to import my Twitter RSS feed and the <twitter:place>..</> fields into custom fields.

   For the latest updated code see: http://snipt.org/Zkkl.

   Right now this is what I've got (besides the whole rest of the code which works just fine). I am just trying too proccess the extra info from the feed into a custom field(s).

   $postmeta = array();
   $postmeta[] = preg_match('|<twitter:id>(.*?)</twitter:id>|is', $post, $postmeta);
   $postmeta[] = preg_match('|<twitter:name>(.*?)</twitter:name>|is', $post, $postmeta);
   $postmeta[] = preg_match('|<twitter:full_name>(.*?)</twitter:full_name>|is', $post, $postmeta);
   $postmeta[] = preg_match('|<twitter:place_type>(.*?)</twitter:place_type>|is', $post, $postmeta);
   $postmeta[] = preg_match('|<twitter:url>(.*?)</twitter:url>|is', $post, $postmeta);
   //$postmeta = $postmeta[1];
   if ( $postmeta) { foreach ($postmeta as $p) {
   	$keys = preg_match('|<twitter:(.*?)>|is', $post, $postmeta);
   		foreach($keys as $key) {
   			$key = $this->get_tag( $p, 'twitter:{$k}' ); //how do I get the value after the colon?
   		}
   		foreach($values as $value) {
   			$value = $this->get_tag( $p, 'twitter:' );
   		}
   
   	$this->process_post_meta($post_id, $key, $value);
   
   } }		
   
   // Process the custom meta
   function process_post_meta($post_id, $key, $value) {
   	// the filter can return false to skip a particular metadata key
   	$_key = apply_filters('import_post_meta_key', $key);
   	if ( $_key ) {
   		add_post_meta( $post_id, $_key, $value );
   		do_action('import_post_meta', $post_id, $_key, $value);
   	}
   }
   
   // Get tag function
   function get_tag( $string, $tag ) {
   	global $wpdb;
   	preg_match("|<$tag.*?>(.*?)</$tag>|is", $string, $return);
   	if ( isset($return[1]) ) {
   		$return = preg_replace('|^<!\[CDATA\[(.*)\]\]>$|s', '$1', $return[1]);
   		$return = $wpdb->escape( trim( $return ) );
   	} else {
   		$return = '';
   	}
   	return $return;
   }

   Wondering if I just have to write out each source?

   preg_match_all('|<twitter:source>(.*?)</twitter:source>|is', $post, $postmeta);
   			$postmeta = $postmeta[1];
   			if ($postmeta) { foreach ($postmeta as $p) {
   				$key = 'twitter_source';
   				$value = $this->get_tag( $p, 'twitter:source' );
   			} }

   Someone suggested a better regex so I thought this would work better as a multiple matcher.

   preg_match_all('|<twitter:(?<key>\w+)>(?<value>.*?)</twitter:\w+>|is', $post, $postmeta);
       $postmeta = $postmeta[1];
   	if ($postmeta) { foreach ($postmeta as $p) {
   		$key = 'twitter_<key>';
   		$value = $this->get_tag( $p, 'twitter:<key>' );
       } }

   Thought I don't think that's the correct way to write out the key..
