Limit number of items pulled from each feed

To limit the number of items the loop iterates through in Ruby, you can combine each_with_index with a conditional statement to break out of the loop when a certain condition is met. Here's how you can modify the loop to limit the number of items:

rss.items.each_with_index do |item, index|
  break if index >= limit_number_of_items  # Change 'limit_number_of_items' to the desired limit
  write_rss_item(item, options)
end

In this modified loop:

• each_with_index iterates over each item in the rss.items array, providing both the item and its index.
• We introduce a conditional statement that checks if the index (index) is greater than or equal to the desired limit (limit_number_of_items). If this condition is true, the loop breaks and exits prematurely.
• Replace limit_number_of_items with the desired number of items you want to process.

This way, the loop will stop iterating once it reaches the specified limit, allowing you to control the number of items processed.
