in reply to How do I extract text from an HTML page?

Well whatever you do, the only way not to go is to regex the HTML-code yourself. This will only work for the most simple and regular of HTML-code and will break before you know it.

Another approach is to go to the source of your data in the first web-page. Assuming that this is based upon some database, can't you go directly to that database and query the data from there?
