I want to be able to go to a small number of sites, 3, get 
information that they contain in tables that are updated 
from the server side, and transfer that information into a 
simple matrix.

So far as I can see, I am asking too much of the program 
and need to look at something like Htmlparser. But this is 
a less complex program, given that I am not a professional 
programmer.

Am I correct, and are there any other tools, preferably 
open source but not necessarily, that could be recommended?
Thank you for your help.
