They all use the same images, categories, item numbers, etc. Some however use their own proprietary part number and that would be of no use to me. Robert P.

Wow, that site looks complex to me. I think you're going to spending lots and lots of time trying to retrieve useful data from page layout... have you seen the javascript links? The dynamic page numbering? IMHO, that is going to be a nightmare. The main problem I see with spending that much time is that you're creating programmatic access to a datasource that doesn't change, so you can basically throw away all your hard work when you have what you need. Two suggestions: 1. ask the manufacturer for a clean list of these parts or find another site that employs less trickery 2. manually copy and paste the pages into something (Excel, Access) and then cleanup. This will get rid of all formatting and html. This is easy to farm out to someone else. I truly believe that this is at least as fast as trying to do it through http, especially if you're not well versed with cfhttp/regex. Hope that helps! /m > Hi all. Good to see all at the meeting last night. ------------------------------------------------------- Data Mining................. I am gearing up to do some data mining from some sites. Preech told me about <cfhttp> to make this work. You gurus out there if you have a second. Do you see any problems with mining the content of: http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm The site lists years, then models, then categorys for that yr/mdl, then lists a picture, and a list of items, part numbers, and notes. I need to get ALL this data for all years, models, categories, images, item number, item desc, part no, and notes. Does this site seem friendly enough to start my journey towards this required result? Any rough draft hints on where to start? This will me my first CF code creating adventure. Robert P.

Chris From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Morton Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 5:34 AM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] OT: Able Commerce Cody, I'm surprised to hear that. My understanding is that the CF version has been around a while. That's a good point for me to get clarified. I did hear (from an Able Commerce employee) that the current development team tends to develop improvements on the DotNet platform first and apply the changes to the CF version latter. It looks like the client is leaning towards the CF version right now just due to the lower learning curve to modify source code. They have no experience in either technology but are much more impressed with the ease of understandability in the CF side. Thanks for the feedback.

On a project I worked on in the past I found it odd they actually sold a beta. But the good thing is I think for the money you can definitely get some great built in functionality. Cody From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Morton Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2006 9:05 AM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] OT: Able Commerce I am interested in feedback on Able Commerce . I have a client that is very interested in moving to that package, and would welcome your thoughts on any support issues, performance, or implementation issues. Any thoughts on the Dot Net version vs. the CFMX version would also be helpful.
