    Saving data and writing to DB

    Hi All,

    I have a bit of a problem and am wondering, if possible, how this can be done.

    I have to save information from a bunch of websites regularly, which is all numbers. Right now I'm entering this information manually which is taking a huge amount of time.

    What I'm looking to do it parse the page, extract the data and input it into the database, then open the next page, parse, extract and store the data.

    Is this possible and can someone let me know how I can either save the html file programmatically so that I can open a textstream object, or if there is a way to do it on the fly, with just the html file open and extract.

    Thanks for your help.

    you can set a reference to MSHTML. Check that out. I've not used it but I have read about it here and there. It allows you to do exactly what you are needing.

    either goto http://msdn.microsoft.com or check it out in your vs help files
