hi friends,

I am anil. I have begining level experience of c++ so I need ur advice.
I have a problem for all think tanks in the group. what i want is

1. Access a web page (html) say ebay's page for particular item (I need
to access different pages for several items approx. 1500)
2. Save that page in comp memory or on disk for processing
3. I am not sure if I can process that html in c++ or need to convert
to txt first
4. Extract specific information with date time n store them on disk for
further processing
5. I need to repeat above process for 1500 items with no time gap
(means i want to check web page again within seconds to check any
update n capture that update)
6. I need further calculation on that data stored from above process
7. First priority is data accuracy
8. Second is minimum time gap

things i stated above is possible with c++ or vb ?

thanx n regards

Use HttpUnit in Java, Curl in Curl, Mechanize in Perl, NET::HTTP in Ruby, or
Watir in Ruby.

HTML _is_ text. But you could use Lynx to -dump out text...

In general, you are asking how to hack Ebay. This is a well-researched area,
and there might even be open source software out there to do it.

None of that software needs to be written in C++. This language is for
writing new systems, not tuning and driving existing systems. Get a softer
language.

VB will actually make you suffer more trying to do that.
