Automating Screen Scraper
I would like to be able to automate screen scraper so that when an event happens on my web page (say a confirmation to a pop-up), that screen scraper gets the information on the screen and ultimately, would put the information into a readable format (say XML).
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Thanks for the posting. Could you give a few more details on what you'd like to do? For example, would you have screen-scraper running on your server that you would invoke behind the scenes when the confimation pop-up appears? Or are you simply wanting to capture the information found in the pop-up? If so, would it be possible to accomplish that with some type of server-side script?
Note that once screen-scraper extracts the information it's generally a straightforward process to put it into a userful format. For example, see our tutorials for an example of writing informatoin out to a .csv file.
Please just let us know how we can help further.
Best regards,
Todd Wilson
