I need to extract HTML Tables and append to records

Hello,

I have a situation where I want create a HTML Link that returns a results page. i.e URL. Then I want to extract the HTML Source code from the results page then take that source code and extract data from HTML Tables and append the Data to selected fields. The results page is standard and only the information in the tables change so I need to just look for certain standard HTML tags and map or connect them to the desired fields in my database. I have no problem conceptualizing the process but I don't know how to implement the solution. Can anybody help with this.

Thanks a Million

You might want to look into using a server-side language (ASP,PHP,etc) for this. It'll make the task a cinch.

The link that I want to generate is for a Phone Search website i.e. Anywho, Ultimate White Pages, etc... Once the link is generated I want to not neccesarily open the page but get the results page source code and analyze and extract data from the template results page discarding all the extra stuff I don't need and getting the results. For example
URL is the link. From there I want the results page and capture the returned data then append it the matching record.(specifically the phone number)

Thanks a Million
