You can have one method to read the "raw" data for each data line as long as they follow the same pattern, for example, in your case, it looks like: after that, you have to interpret each data like depending on where it comes from, is it from Dow ? is it from "Oil"? and decide if it's a percentage, a absolute value, a "delta" and put those values in the appropriate fields in your application : if ( == Dow ) { ... } else (if == Nasdaq ) { ... } ... Technically, there must be dozen different ways to do that, but I try to keep it as simple as possible. Good luck with that.

Use the
IHTMLDocumentinterface to navigate the HTML. Did you read this article suggested to you three days ago?"One man's wage rise is another man's price increase." - Harold Wilson
"Fireproof doesn't mean the fire will never come. It means when the fire comes that you will be able to withstand it." - Michael Simmons

Look for a
SPANelement named yfs_l10_^ixic. Then use one of theinnerText,outerText,innerHTML, orouterHTMLproperties."One man's wage rise is another man's price increase." - Harold Wilson

They are methods of the
IHTMLElementinterface. You might need to includemshtml.h."One man's wage rise is another man's price increase." - Harold Wilson
