Extract content of websites.

how to extract content into a CSV/XML

[brakai295]

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a script or other type of software program that allows me to crawl my ecommerce website in order to generate a CSV or XML datafeed with all my products.

Unfortunately my company is using a pretty ol JSP based software and there is not exporting function for the database.

So I thought I can include certain comment-tags into my website and have a software extract all the product info such as price, description, category etc.

Does anyone know any good software tools? Or is there another way to do it?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Just write a JSP page to select the database and write the date to a file (or to the screen than save the file to your local drive).

hi, would you be able to help us? I'm a designer and no programmer and have no clue about JSP :-(

Sorry, I don't know JSP either. I just know that similar to other products (ASP, .NET, Cold Fusion, etc.), it can access databases and dynamic content. But I wouldn't know how to write any specific code in JSP.
