    Hello

    I want a program which I enter a website address and the program trawls all the pages in the website and creates a datafeed.

    Would this be possible?

    I would use it to trawl a shopping site and would want details back like

    name, page url, text, price, image url

    Thanks

    Mally

    This would be diffrent coding for each site i guess as not all sites use the same structure so you will need to provide what site is is that needs to be crawled and saved.

    Agh, I was hoping to get a program that would do them all, how about if the program would look for certain fields, i.e, I would check the website and try and find out what reference the image link was, and then add that to the program, the same with the description price etc

    Hi, I've done this type of application before

    You won't be able to use a generic tool. You will need a specialized tool that is written to handle each site, so all sites would need to be included upfront or additional work would be required.

    I know how to write these types of tools and I have done so since the mid-'90s.

    PM me if you are interested with the sites you need and how much you are paying.
