Reading IE/FF Page information

Hi.

I need some help with a problem. I'm looking at making a programme i'm making, read data from web pages as people view them, then pick up data and automatically update it in a database.

Does anyone know how this might be done? I've done some searching but alas to no avail.

Why do you want to do this?Java is not the right tool for this job.A desktop application would not be the right place for this (IMO), look at a proxy server.Message was edited by: mlk

What does your system architecture look like? Is this an enterprise thing where you're doing this on a server, or are you creating a spyware web browser, or some other crazy contraption?

HI.

No its not spyware, basically, i play a game called Kings of Chaos, and my clan and i are looking at automatically recording stats / attacks people do. On one page for example, it says:

Strike Action: 1,300,302

And i'd like the program to read that, as clan members browse/play the game so that our stats database is kept up to date. If i got that working, i'd be able to figure out how to record attacks and stuff as it follows the same format.

Another clan out there has a programme which does this (records stats automatically) however it dosn't use java, it uses Visual Basic. I'm sure that theres a way of doing a similar thing in Java however.

Thanks for any replies.
