Reading data from a website

Right, parsing that page, as Dave said, will suck. It's not xml so xml parsing is out (that would then be reasonably easy). So you'd need a load of regex and parsing wizardry. It IS possible though. Again, as Dave pointed out, when their code changes, your app breaks. However, if you look at the navigation options in the bottom right hand corner you will see a Bulk data link with a link to a page that generates Xml of the data :) Have a look at some of that xml and you will find all the data ready for simple xml parsing; it looks like you can get data for months, whole years, etc - as it is built dynamically from a URL query string. Have fun with that! Dominic -- Blog it up: http://fusion.dominicwatson.co.uk
