You can use the <cfhttp> tag to download the page in question. The variable cfhttp.filecontent will then contain the entire text of the page. You can use the CF string functions such as find() and mid() to find pieces you are interested in and strip them out.
Just remember that most pages out there are copyrighted and you may be violating copyrights by retrieving and re-displaying content from other sites.
Good luck,

But for what you need, there is already code for that.
