 Help developing Application I have just started using Debian but have been around computing for 20 years. What I want to do is capture the market data my broker feeds to me via their trading page. The web page containing the data is constantly updating, except I want to be able to take a snapshot about 20 times per hour for the "put/call" prices at a specified time so I can have a historical timeline. The broker does not provide a historical/daily/minute update so it is up to me to capture this data and massage it into a format I can use. Several years ago I wrote some Paschal file utilities that would parse out bad data from downloads but I don't think the above described application would be the same as this was kinda pre internet....still using Bulletin Boards back then with a 300 baud modem. I wish I could find a macro, as you see I don't know what is avaliable but I have googled to death. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Larry Birmingham, Al.      |
