Screen scraping software

    I would like to know if there is any commercially available screen scraping software out there.  I have an ASP.net application with SQL Server 2000 database, and I would like to be able to screen scrape text from HTML tables and import that data in my database.

    Thanks.

    You can do that yourself using a browser control and getting the html from the control and extracting the data.  You can either get the data using string parsing techniques (i.e. Instr, mid, etc), or use the DOM to retrieve objects from the browser control.  Microsoft has a site that has a lot of reference and articles on this at Programming and Reusing the Browser.

    Hope this helps
