i need a good scripter that can capture data from a web page. the data seems to be coming down in xml format and i cannot find how to access it.
here's the 30 second rundown on how i get to the data now...
login to a web page (i have a membership)
select the search
input the date range and select search button
output is displayed in a table with links to the actual data
i must then click on each link, which brings up a screen with all the data i need.
i must do this for each dataset... there are hundreds.
i'd like to automate this process and capture the data into a database.
if you can accomplish this task in short order then please contact me and we can discuss terms of the agreement.
thanks!
