I was hoping to write a simple program (if that's possible) to open a
browser, go to a site, and scrape a piece of information from that site.
For example, I was hoping to open a Safari of Firefox browser, go to
nyt.com and scrape the Dow Jones Industrial Average which is on the
homepage.
Does anyone know where I could get an example program that does this kind
of thing to teach myself the concepts?
Thanks very much,
