I’m doing a personal, just for fun, project that is using screen scraping to give me a System Tray notification in case another line on an HTML table is added, modified or deleted.
Having done this before I thought: well let’s go with the regular expression thing and that’s it, but being a curious person, made me think that there could be something else out there that could have another paradigm but be as simple to use.
I know about DOM and X-Path and all the xml’ish approaches. I’m looking for something outside the box, something that can even be defined in a set of rules so you can make a plugin system to aggregate various sites.
