    What you have is sorta what I am looking for. Let me flush out my
request a little better.
    Ultimately what I need. I need to be able to go through a set list of
pages and extract the information on it. The information looks like
this.

    What I need to be able to do is to be able to copy all this
information from the web page and to a file with the days date. There
are about 50 pages but I am only interested in the last ten which would
always be the same ten pages on the site. So would have to  be able to
start a new file with today's date and copy/merge the information
gathered from the download. Ultimately what would be great is if it
could examine the difference and say where it was. That is asking a lot
I know but it is what I need. Just for now getting the webpages
automated would be fantastic. I can do the rest in a txt editor. The
whole purpose of this is to find people who are abusing the system that
is in place.
    What is needed is what is highlighted. This is what I need to verify
against each other to see if there has been a drastic change.
    Do the plugins that are on site cover this? How you described what
you do is very close to what I need. I just need to figure out how to do
these things. Right now I am looking at some of the posted items and
can't even figure out how to make a button to launch the script.
