    Getting data from a webpage



    I have this site which gives stock quotes.

    http://www.bseindia.com/price_finder...scripcd=532483

    I want to write a program that retrieves data from this page periodically.
    I know the use of Inet but it does not seem to work in this case probably because this page is Java based. What is the way out?

    One way would be to use a webbrowser control in the background. There are other controls like Inet but I don't know of any that can run java

    If the data you want is generated from a Java Applet you may have some problems retrieving that data.

    Yeah, that data is in the Java program (applet) not anywhere in text/readable form like the HTML source code.

    Well, there might be a way through the WebBrowser control but I will have to take a look at some old code I have that extracted some things from an Applet.

    EDIT

    Just rememberd. When the Applet is loaded into memory it becomes a window process and is therefor accessable through some API's (don't remember which ones) very much like any other process running but I think it has to be addressed through the browser as a child. Something like that.
