HTML Number Grabber to Excel

[eipeks]

Here's what I want to do:

1) Grab numbers off a website

2) Load them up in an excel spreadsheet

3) display the numbers/stats on my own website

For example... if I wanted to grab hockey stats off the nhl.com website and load up on my won website, how can I do this w/o manually entering every number. Then when nhl.com updates thier info mine would update. This is just an example...hockey stats are not what I'm actually going for.

I heard there is a way to do this....anyone know?

Excel macro programming (something like Visual Basic).

I made a similar excel script once to get the bandwidth usage from the ISP's website and add em up in excel spreadsheet. My internet was (a long time ago) capped on bandwidth/month.

Shell(prgm) is your friend. It's actually quite simple to launch internet-explorer or some other browser from macro then read it's contnents using innerText or innterHTML

Look up some things on VB Macro scripting
