Extracting Data From Web Page

[Brandon Lashmet]

I have a program with 6 variables (the data type of each is "float"). The value of these variables is entered by the user. However, I would like to extract the data from a website. What's the best way to extract the "Target Price" from http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/stv/analystestimates ?


Thanks for the help!

Thanks, but I'm not sure what link to follow on the page you provided. I went to the usage guide and see the following options, but it doesn't seem like any of them are what I'm looking for:

Enabling Internet Functionality
IDN Support in WinINet
Establishing a Dial-Up Connection to the Internet
Using String Buffers
Creating Status Callback Functions
Handling Errors
Managing Cookies
Retrieving HTTP Headers
Setting and Retrieving Internet Options
IPv6 Extensions to Navigator Auto-Config File Format

Which one of these will allow me to extract the value of Target Price and store it in a variable?

Thanks again...
