hi,

I know that there are fews number of components that we can be use for extracting data from remote sites. I'm trying to use MS Internet Transfer control or XMLHTTP together with string functions to grab the "data" i want, but still fail to get it.

The data i want is kind of dynamic.I'm try to use regexp, but hve problem in matching character, always invalid. the data i want is look like:

<TR ALIGN=RIGHT>
<TD ALIGN=LEFT><a href="/marketwatch/charts/chartlist.asp?stock_code=1224~INTRIA&p1=2.38&p2=2.39&p3=2.4&p4=2.39&p5=2.4&p6=0.02&p7=0.84&p8=67&p9=13.433">SPSETIA</A></TD><TD ALIGN=LEFT>8664</TD><TD>2.39</TD><TD>2.40</TD><TD>2.39</TD><TD>2.40</TD><TD><FONT COLOR=#0000FF>0.02</FONT></TD><TD>0.8%</TD><TD>67</TD><TD>2.40/6</TD><TD>2.41/17</TD></TR>
is there any others way??
Please advice!
