Yes that's exactly what I want to do, the data I posted was an example of how it appears at each stage of the hand. I will be getting it in real time as the hand goes on and as players make decisions, but I need to know how to get the actions straight into a database.

If you know of some other way I could scrape the data into an sql data base in real time I could just use perl after that.

Then work out the rest once I get that far!

Any site or literature you know I could study to learn this technique would be a great help!
