Is there a way to make a program to read a number from a website and then enter it into a field and submit it on another website? If so what programming language would be most suited for this task and what commands are used to get and put the data.

I say C#. What you can do is this:

1. Download the entire html page.
2. Parse it so you get the data you need.
3. Use techniques such as: Automating Internet Explorer to send the data to the new form on another web page.

Now for the code to download a html page and parse it in C#, take a look at my code here. You will use a few things out of it, namely the Downloader::Download function. Note that you can easily make that save to a string instead of a file. if you want to see that code I have it avaliable as well I can post. Just my ideas of what you can do [wink] Good luck!

I'd be tempted to use perl for something like that. If you've done any programming it's a really easy language to pick up.

Can't remember what web based functionality is in the core language, but i'm sure you could find a module for dealing with web pages at CPAN
