A customer of ours has a web application done in oracle forms, java applet
is used for client access, need to extract data from two text boxes in the
screen, any suggestions of how to approach this? TIA

re: Web Application Data Extraction


Hi John,

You can get the page via HTTP and then use the System.Text.RegEx class to
run a regular expression to extract the value. Here's an article with some
code you can modify to get started on pulling the Web page:

Once you get the text, here's a nice Web site that has a test page you can
use to refine your regular expression (there are other tools available too):

You can use SWExplorerAutomation SWEA (http://webunittesting.com). It
could take a few minutes to write the scraping solution using SWEA.
