Before EqB made that file available, HDW had the file and made it available to their downloaders. It is actually quite handy and very simple to process.
I did not write any lengthy code to capture the data - The user clicks a button, and the software takes him to the page where he copies it with ctrl-a, ctrl-c then clicks a button in our software to use the copied data.
Sometimes simplest is best.
Gary Pizzigati, the creator of At The Races Pro was kind enough to add a feature to his program that also in a similar fashion. His program has a "results" button. When you click it not only does it capture ALL the missing prices but it copies them to the clipboard. Then our users simply click a button that processes the captured data. Very cool. Grabs all the layoffs, too.
