I have a webpage that looks like this;
<HTML><HEAD><META http-equiv="Refresh" content="1"></HEAD><BODY><H3>
DataIneed: ##.## XX<br>
DataIneed2: ##.## XX
</H2></BODY></HTML>
I need a script I can run on the host computer preferably from inside an html file, that will grab the ##.## after DataIneed: and DataIneed2: (which are numbers formatted like this -50.00 22.75
I do not have control of the site above it is generated from a device and I cannot change it, but all I want is to grab the numbers it generates, and throw them into a webpage I design.
I am trying to do this without having to install any addition software as they would all have to go through a long accreditation process to be allowed on the company network.
I am thinking JavaScript will be my answer, but I'm not sure how to go about this. I have looked on the web, seems to be that I am doing "screen scraping" or "web scraping" but most of the projects I have seen are fine with installing extra software, and also are geared towards actually scraping data off of webpages in bulk.
