jdlev has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
First of all, thanks to everyone who has helped me in the past! This site rocks the casba!! : )
I'm trying to figure out how to scrap data from yahoo's fantasy football site. It is very complex when looking at the page's source code.
Really, all I want to do, is be able to enter a week, and get the projections for that player. Here is the page I am trying to pull the data from. Once I have the data, I can insert into one of my MySQL databases. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to scrap the players first name, last name, and projected points from this web page:
http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/628117/players?&sort=PR&sdir=1&status=ALL&pos=O&stat1=S_PW_11&jsenabled=1&jsenabled=1
Thanks a ton in advance!!! :)
