Dear all,
One of my friends is currently working on his PhD and he is in the process of collecting name and address of software firms to carry out a survey. Unfortunately, there are hardly any readymade lists. What is available is some search function at various portals and then one gets to a web-page with details about one company. One has to repeat this process many hunderds of times to collate a usable list (like on an Excel sheet).
So I thought of using a script which can do this job for my friend. Could you please suggest a script, or a skeleton script which I can modify to do this job.
How big this task would be ?
Information about the script Iam looking are
1) Programming Language -- Preferably in Perl.
2) Platform -- Linux/Windows
3) Free or Paid -- Free
Thank you very much for your time.
Best Regards,
Kamesh.
