Web programing!

[tsotne1990]

Hi everyone!
I want to develop a Markowitz portfolio theory in C++ and wonder if its possible to get the secondly changing data from the web (e.g. Nasdaq.com)... Briefly speaking, can I get the value of a stock that is changing every time??? Is it possible to address the textbox on the web where these data is written?

Thanks

check out curl
it is capable doing every thing a browser can

Nice tip, anna. Good to see spambots back in action.

tsotne - what you can *easily* get from a web site depends on how easy the designers want to make it for you, I'm sure there would be some SOAP applications for stocks (it's quite a popular subject), so that's one avenue. Otherwise, curl like tal says allows you to take content off the web fairly easily.
