I've used wget followed by processing in j making extensive use of member of interval E. to find what I need, steering clear of the nice tools that I mistrust such as regular expressions (as I recall j re core dumped the one time I tried it, I doubt I reported) or html parsers. I had good results treating the file as a text file ignoring the structure.

Hi everyone,

I want to scrape some web pages and I am wondering if anyone here uses
J to do so?  Any tips?  Otherwise I'll have to resort to python.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Ryan
