Hi!

Does anybody know a freeware script to grab any information from any web page ?

Thank you in advance
Gabriel

What type of information are you looking to grab?

For example weather information within this site:

http://www.meteofa.mil.ar/dpd/tiepre/87582.htm

I would need to extract the temperature value , humidity value, etc, from the first table.

Thank you
Gabriel

I suppose it might depend on how the information was stored. I've never done something like that before so perhaps another member can help you.

You could try something like the following:

PHP Code:

$source = "http://www.meteofa.mil.ar/dpd/tiepre/87582.htm";

$start = "title_area value=\""; //This just tells the script where to begin to get the data in the page.

$end = "\" size=26 border=0>"; //This just tells the script where to end recording the data.

//Content Retrieval

$data = fopen("$source", "r");

$get = fread($data, 20000);

$take = eregi("$start(.*)$end", $get, $content);

$info = str_replace("--", " - ", $content);

echo $info[1];

As ChristGuy explained by using MY CODE! j/k. You can easily take pretty much anything from any web site by entering in the URL and tell it where to begin grabbing and where to stop. I could help you if you need it.
