What programming language would be the best to create a program that would query a website every x minutes on a Windows system? Also, after getting the information, I would like to parse it and send the parsed information via email.
I had asked a similar question yesterday and it seemed like Python was the way to go but some also suggested wget. I added from yesterday’s question the requirement to email the parsed results hence the repost.
Thanks.
This is very subjective – how are you defining “best”? This does not seem like a particularly performance-intensive application; I would use whichever language you are most comfortable with that will do the job. If you have more than one to pick from, pick the one that will let you complete the application the quickest.
