Check remote webpage for modifications

Hi,

Is there a method in order to check a remote web page for modifications using an ASP page.
Perhaps this ASP page running on a web server retrieve the remote page content and check word
counts on that page or other parameters in order to tell that page has a modified content ?

Is there a method in ASP to count for words, and how can you schedule this ASP page to check the remote page from time to time.

Thank you for any suggestions  !

However there is not a way in ASP to schedule a page to run at set times, you would need to have something trigger a call to the page.

Thanks Bruce, could be something like page reload or some java script code or a php page or some sort of trigger from a database in order to schedule the ASP page to run?
