Data Retrieval From Online Database - Paid Consultant Required

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help with the following on a fee paying basis
for the the design or development of some type of script or utility or
piece of code to do the following work.

I wish to retrieve some data from an online database that is in the
public domain. The online database has a search facility that matches
the entry (name) in a search box then returns a screen stating that a
match has been found or not found.

If a match is found there is a button to click that proceeds to the
screen containing the data which is simply two names. It is these two
names that I wish to retrieve and store them in something like a text
file where they are associated with the original entry (name) used in
the search box.

I have a list of the entries for the search box that can be supplied
in sample format for testing as a columnar text file or comma
delimited file or a spreadsheet.. I would need the procedure to
process the list of search entries, retrieve the data then move on to
the next one in the list. Obviously, if a match was not found then the
process would need to move on the the next entry in the list with
perhaps a message saying "No Match" until the entire list was
processed.

The PC I hope to run the process on is a Windows XP machine and if I
need to purchase any particular software that is necessary for the job
then I am quite willing to do so. Also, as I pointed out above I would
pay for the work to be done.
I hope that I have explained the above OK and that I have posted it to
the correct newsgroup(s). If it is not in the correct newsgroup I
would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Regards
Dave Gibson
