in reply to Grabbing Data

I think we'd be more than happy to take a look at the HTML and propose a solution, but the IP address of the server you specified is for a private LAN (all 172.16.xx.xx addresses are).

Perhaps you could save a screen shot, and make it available on a publically accessible server.

Unless the data on the page is very horribly formatted, or subject to change format each time it loads, it's usually not too difficult to grab a page (LWP::Simple), then use HTML::Parser or HTML::TableExtract to grab data, and do something else with it. If the page you're grabbing data from is under your control, or you can persuade whomever it does belong to, making the same data available in XML format is one of the best solutions.

    See he would want me to graph the DCCH, PCH, I.C., and DISP. I have no idea how to grab that data yet, but im working on it. Also, how can i print an array, with a comma seperating every entry? Thanks again everyone. Dipul Patel
