Content grab / extraction

[Patrick]

Dear all,

Hopefully there´s someone who can help me.
I´m looking for an ASP/Javascript possibility to grab content from another
website and store into my website database.

I would like to grab some temperature and snow information and use this
actual information on my own site.

Thanks for you help!

Rgds, Patrick

Thanks for your help.

Ok, now I understand how to retrieve the content of a website, but wath
about parsing.
The example at [url]http://www.aspfaq.com/2173[/url] is only searching for a string.

For example:
[url]http://www.snowplaza.nl/weersneeuw_detail.asp?idgebied=ITPIEM01&idVillage= ITPIEM006[/url]
How can I parse the HTML string and retrieve the minimum and maximum
temperature from the page?

Hopefully there´s anyone around who can help me.

Regards,

Patrick

HTML is simply a long string. Just view the source of the page and figure
out what you have to search for in the page to allow you to extract the data
you want. VBScript has several string functions which you can use, or you
can read up on Regular Expressions and try it that way. Go to
msdn.microsoft.com/library, and navigate to the Web Development>Scripting
node for more details.

Sorry, I don't have time to do this.
