Web crawling for store prices

This is not for a class. I already hold 2 degrees in computer science. Just wondering if there are any sort of exisiting algorithms out there for doing this sort of thing. It is for a job.

We urgently need a website doing comparisons of websites doing cost comparisons. :laugh:

So is everyone just going to make snarky comments and offer no help? You don't even know that this is for a price comparison site. There are many, many more possibilites for such information.

Since we get so many people coming in here and essentially wanting us to do their homework for them, we tend to be skeptical. You were lucky enough to make your first post on the site with a question that sounded a lot like homework. It's usually the first post of the homework seekers.
You measure democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.

Hey, If you have to real degrees in computer science is should be easy for you. So you should do your homework your self or you will never make it as a software engineer.
Well, I've never seen a forum less helpful than this one. Why does everyone think that I'm trying to have homework done? That would be stupid. When I went to college I paid too much to not have the professors help with any questions I may have with homework. Why would someone come here to have homework done?

People are not help you because what you asked is a easy question. Any one with a degree in CS should be able to done this.
What I was wanting was some sort of algorithm for pattern matching and finding these prices in a web page. Crawling a page is easy.

That what you want to college for. Try to design the algorithm your self. Show that you have tried something your self than you might get some help.
I didn't want to reinvent the wheel. I was just checking to see if there was anything out there that I could start with. I do have things in mind of how to do it, but if there's something already out there, why not use it? Would you write a linked list implementation when there's already one out there in the STL?
