I think if you search around you'll be able to find it.
However, I think it has developed "bit rot" from not being touched in so long. My old webl stuff will no longer work. But what is it? it is a web scraping language written in java. Fast it is not. Easy to scrape and interact with pages: YES. It has all sorts of things for locating fields, locating table cells, etc. (I used it for writing a prototype that would scrape a competitors site and import the data into our application :) but if it doesn't work LWP isn't _that_ bad. You will end up in regex hell though. -- Jeff Trout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.jefftrout.com/ http://www.stuarthamm.net/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
