How to take info from webpage using c++?
For example, in https://www.americasarmy.com/soldier/11235
the program returns the Experience points "431,422" (or a new value at a later date) whenever I open the program. I know that c++ is not appropriate for this but just wanted to know if possible.

Use curl https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/ to grab the webpage. Search the text for the words you're looking for.
You can use the URLDownloadToFile function to download the file if you use MS Windows.

Then you need to find the two numbers inside the span tag - probably with regular expressions.
<span class="ng-binding">431,422</span>
