I posted the following on the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] list without getting a reply. Posting here in hopes
of getting a clue where to start. Thanks in advance.
--------------------------------------------
Microsoft Excel has the ability to import data via a web query. If I create
a query and run it on the following URL, a table with stock price
information will be displayed on an Excel worksheet.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=%5EIXIC+%5EDJI+RHAT++&d=v1 If I run the query
again the next day the data will be updated in the same
cell locations. Thus I can collect this data over a period of time and
create a chart using the chart feature of MS Excel.
Now to the Perl/CGI question. What techniques and functions would I use in
Perl to retrieve data from the above URL and save to a comma delimited data
file?
Thanks
Craig
