I am hoping someone can help me solve an issue we are having at work.
In the course of a day, we have literally hundreds of account numbers we look up on one of our vendors websites. We are usually just looking for a particular status code. This process takes a huge amount of time as the account numbers have to be entered one by one. What I am looking to do is to automate this process. I'd like to create a text file of account numbers on my local system, log into the website, and then have a script or something march through the account numbers automatically, entering them on the vendor's form, retrieve the results, and place them into another text file on the local system. I have seen several companies on the internet that sell software to do this, but I'd really like to write it myself. Can someone kick me in the right direction of how to get started on this project? Thanks, Mark. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
