Screen scraping anyone?

[Jim Hubbard]

Anyone know of a control (or code showing how to) scrape addresses from a
web page?

Thanks for your help!

Regular Expressions work rather nicely to "scrape" data from text files,
HTML or otherwise. You have to look for patterns for the address. Street
addresses can be a bit of a pain and very different from site to site.

If you mean "stealing" email addresses to SPAM people, shame on you!

Thanks for the help. I found an application that will scrape the web pages
I need and export the data to a CSV file. It's only $39.00 and that beats
writing it myself.

I just have to write an app to bring the data into a SQL DB and submit it to
a webservice and I'm off to a good start.
