Datafeeds

[demon]

Hi everyone,
I am interested in setting up a directory and wondering if there are tools out there that can help you scrape datafeeds off of directory sites. Im in the UK and wish to base the directory for my market here. I know theres the yellow pages scraper (usa) and heard of a (rare) uk yell scraper but wondered if theres a way of parsing data from the page and doing it that way. Has anyone tried ' Web data parser' for this type of thing? Or know of an easier idea.

Many thanks for any help

I use uBot! (http://www.botsoftware.org/idevaffiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=111) It kicks total ass and is easy as pie for newbs. Click here to get your copy. (http://www.botsoftware.org/idevaffiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=111)

Thanks Nick, Ive been thinking about getting ubot. Maybe we could share bots within the forum at some point.
