    Website Scraping

    Hi All,
    I have a challenge and need some help/advice.
    In a nutshell, I want to extract a lot of data from a website (its in the public domain) and strip out the data I need (its wrapped in HTML and isnt too difficult to see), eventually exporting this to a Excel spreadsheet in column format.
    I know there is a lot of software out there that will create macros and a bunch of other stuff to do the job, but I need to know that whatever I use will work AND something I can run every week by a click of a few buttons..
    Any help/advice/offers to create it (paid of course) greatly appreciated!

    Thanks, OllieB

    You'll need a script to do this, but it probably isn't a too difficult one to writ. That will depend on how much you're pulling off the site and how it's formatted there. Your best course would be to put the job out to bid and select a programmer to do the job. There are several freelance coder sites like http://getafreelancer.com that you can use to find someone.
