Retrieving Text From The Web
-
Hello out there I need help with a project. Retrieving information from a text file that is in a website. For example: Steve Smith, a runner, would like to retrieve his race results, stored as text files, from a number of different websites. The results gathered would pertain to him only,not all participants, and need to be stored in a database for future reference.

why don't you just try and see for yourself :) Lots of documentation on those classes I mentioned. :) You can download a file, process a regex expression and store that info to a database in about 10 lines of code or so. :) Enjoy.
