Program to get data from a website

[ypfz3TCk]

Hi, I'm working on a project in unix / Linux that will use a c++ program to get data from a website, parse it and present it formatted in a certain way. I'm still at the design stage and needed some ideas about how to accomplish the task.
At a very basic level if I wanted to crawl through a given site to see if there are any updates for (example) something like 'fish prices', what type of c++ functions could I use? Is there anything in the standard library for this? Just need some ideas on where to start. Thanks

You can use libcurl to retrieve the website. The rest is just very basic parsing, std::string's find and substr should help you there.
