The purpose is to compare the localy installed version of programs with their current version mentioned on their home-pages: > - download each home-page into a file (wget) > - read the file into a string (file.plugin) > - extract the web-version (regex-plugin) > - compare with installed version (file.plugin)

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.

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. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
