Starhawk Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I really dont know much about web scraping and I was wondering if anyone here could give any tech advice on the subject. I am looking for some piece of software that can (if this is even possible): Take data from an excel sheet. Insert data into html link to pull up relevant web page. Pull data off of that page and insert it into the excel sheet. Thanks for any help. You may also PM me if you have any super top secret methods of data extraction.

Ryan FB Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Perl with WWW::Mechanize is pretty good for automating web stuff. There's also Perl modules in CPAN for working with Excel files, but I haven't used them so I'm not sure how good they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
