I been looking into PERL and even wondering how to do this in asm on a freeBSD running Apache and now I don't think it need all of that serious coding other than for pausing the text to extract needed information. I thought it was about Spi*ers, Ro*ots and bot, something magical. But all I need is a separate timed process or timed script to grab a simple web page complete TEXT-BASED-ONLY with-out the use of an browser... No HTML rendering. Go-get page and save that text to disk at 12:01am each and every night. And that's it.
Example:
http://www.wunderground.com/US/IN/Bloomington.html
After I grab the complete source page than I'll compare changes to previous 5-Day Forecast for ZIP Code 47401 and extract that info and update my page with the same Forecast nightly. I would also include the link to this public information site on my page as an matter of respect.
The hard stuff comes next. I'll worry about how to pause it for changes in the sky latter. Just getting the text on the disk is what I need to do right now. It may be simple but I never done it before.
Thanks in advance
