Hi,

I am looking to do some major data mining on the web.
Here's my basic flow:
-Enter in some data
-'click' next
-save web page
-repeat

Is there a programming language that would allow me to mechanize this process?

Thank you,
-Matt

So you are looking for a program where the user enters some data which will be published on a webserver as an HTML page so others can view it as a webpage?

If so, I don't know if a program like that exists, but you can create such a program in any programming/scripting language.

Thanks for the reply Wim.

No, that's not what I was going for.
Let me try to explain better:

There's a large database of information I need.
This entails typing in monotonous information (I have in a file).
I enter the data into a web site and then get routed to a another web site that contains a table of data I want.
I would like to then save this web page to my hard drive for later usage.
I am trying to expedite this process so I don't spend all day long typing very similar data over and over again... it seems like a program should be able to do this but I don't have any experience with web programming.

I have experience in C and perl, do you think I could do this in one of those languages?

Thanks,
-Matt

I'm still not clear if you're putting data in or taking it out...
If the former, then you've got the file already...
If the latter, do you mean you have a file with lists of params (ie records) to enter into a web page that is a CGI page that then responds with the 'requested' info for each set?
If so, you prob wanr Perl WWW::Mechanize http://search.cpan.org/~petdance/WWW...W/Mechanize.pm
