I require a simple program to be written that will systematically extract enrties from an online directory and convert the data to a local database format I can then utilse.
I want to store all the relevant stored detail in discrete database fields. It can be saved as csv, xls, dbf or other practical format. I am open to suggestions.
The directory is <[login to view URL]>
some comapnies have only very basic information, while others have a subesquent page linked, that contains various other information about the company. if you try a few different companies, you'll find dirfferent headings can appear for different information. I am not concerned with all headings, mainly the ones listed below. If you can capture anything else easily, please advise of them.
Fields to capture include - company name, street number, addressline 1, line 2, city, zip (post code), state, phone, fax, ABN (business number), advert heading, email, web, employee size, date established.
I would consider either of the two following;
1. you develop the program and supply it to me to do the data capture myself
2. You do the data capture and supply me withthe data output.
Attached is a sample of a typical linked page.
