    Question Data extraction from file

    Hey guys,

    Great community you have here.

    I really need to get this thing working to save me alot of time,

    Basically im making a program that logs into my website control pannel, and downloads a bandwidth report of a specific domain. the report downloaded is a html file. I am only interested in the number of MB used:

    Code:
    <P><B>Results</B><BR>
    <TABLE WIDTH=100% CELLSPACING=1 cELLPADDING=0><TR><TD COLSPAN="[0]"><DIV CLASS=m><A HREF="http://control.***.com:6998/cp4.exe?BWMACTION=1&startdate=10-09-2003&enddate=10-10-2003&ID=508328">domain.com</A></TD></DIV><TD COLSPAN="[0]"><DIV CLASS=m>    2.04 MB</TD></DIV></TR></TABLE></font>
    </P>
    As shown above what i need is the 2.04 MB extracted from the .html file and placing in a varible.

    If anyone can show me an example of how i can do this, including opening the file for editing as i am not sure of the correct way of doing this.

    N.B there is alot of other not needed code in the html file.

    Thanks very much,
    Peter

    Do you know how to use sockets?
    Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah
