Does anybody know where I can get my hands on a java robot which scans a given website for names and corresponding email addresses? I have not had much inexperience with robots/agents.
Cheers
 
I once wrote a programm, which repeatedly scans a given url for a regular expression, and looks for changes.
(Used to inform about sports-events: 0:0, 1:0, 1:1 ...).
You may use it to look for a token like
Code:
[a-z0-9]*@[a-z0-9]*\.[a-z0-9]*
[code]
But it will know how to find a username, nor may it map it to an email-adress.
You don't build some software for collecting spam-adresses?

You may modify it to your needs since it is OpenSource and may be found at [URL unfurl="true"]http://freshmeat.net[/URL] 
Search for project 'htmlobserver'.
