Another approach to consider is to scrape the site manually. It would be a lot of clicks, but if the site is not too large or dynamic, this approach might get you out of a bad situation.

If you have to do a lot of clicking, you can save your fingers from injury by using a footswitch instead of a mouse button. Take your shoe off, and click with your big toe. This motion should be the same as one of the motions involved in walking, and should not wear out the meat-ware. One type of footswitch is sometimes called a treadle.

It should work perfectly the first time! - toma

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
