    Hi All,

    Working on a personal project to keep myself busy (-;
    I was wondering if anyone on boards could suggest the
    best way to preform a screen scrape/web scrape using Java.

    I've done something similar using a HTML parser called hot sax
    but i've done some googling and seen a few articles about xQuery.

    Has anyone used either of these or other such products ?
    any recommendations ? any advice on pros/cons of each ?

    thanks guys

    - Elfman

    My advice? Use PHP instead. Much easier for this sort of thing. :)
