Perhaps the information is in the HTML tags that you are discarding. Can you
use that information to separate out individuals records and then strip out
the remaining HTML?

Subject: [pro_vb] Pulling data from external site


Hi, i need to pull data from an external site and save it to a database.The
data is basically obtained from a site where there is a search form and the
search is performed without specifying parameters.( so all records are
fetched) So a lot of pages are generated. Im using the XML parser to post
the data and retreive data page by page. i have managed to strip the data of
the html tags.I no need to save the records to a db.Unfortunately there is
no delimiter left for me to parse the data.
Any suggestions how i can save the data record by record.Also does anybody
know a more efficient way of doing this.
Basically the app will act like a robot pulling all data and saving it to
the database.
I hpoe my explanation is clear.if not let me know i rephrase it.
Thanks in advance
Satya
