Parse product data from another website??

Olimits7 · Dec 28, 2005

Hello,

I'm looking for some type of software that will allow me to parse all the products on a website into an excel worksheet. Does anybody know a way to do this??

I tried using Websnake and Wepreaper but these programs just spit out the individual html pages for each product. I need the data to be spit into some type of database or worksheet so I can upload to my website.

The products will be exactly the same for my website so it will save me a lot of time to just parse the data. The products are all DVDs.

I tried using IMDB-Grab which is something that is what I'm looking for, but it does not allow me to parse other dvd websites.

Thank you,

Sounds like a job for PERL or another server side solution.
Depending on the size of the operation it may be necessary to integrate a server side database - MySQL or one of the other options.
The server side solution has many other advantages if the site is likely to take off and expand.
