I need someone who can tell me how to code a software that can scrap/harvest particular contents from a site, example harvesting titles of the games from a particular url. Regards James
First you'll want to download the web page to a temporary variable. You can do this a number of ways, google will give example code. Next you use regular expressions to parse through the document. You'll find the info for that from the MSDN docs for the System.Text.RegularExpressions namespace. Regular expressions provide a way for you to tell the computer to search through the document in complex ways. Such as finding the text between the two bold tags in the main_column div.
If you want a really simple solution, check out WebZinc: http://www.webzinc.com/online/ This component costs $99, but it's well worth it if you plan to create several scraping applications. I use this component at work for some API integration projects and it cuts my development time way down.
