RE: [amibroker] Good way to get quote from html file?

If you have Excel, it will open html files and convert them to a (clumsily
formatted) spreadsheet. You can then save it as text from Excel, or copy the
cells you're interested in and paste them into Notepad or some other
text-only program.

If you don't have Excel, you could do a series of text replacements,
removing each html tag in the file. If it's as simple as your example,
removing table, tr, td and their closing tags would do it. A text editor
that does regular expressions (pattern-based matching), like UltraEdit or
SlickEdit, might make that easier.

None of these methods are great if you have to do this a lot, especially in
real time, although I think Excel can do it with some programming. If that's
your target and it was me, I'd consider writing a ColdFusion program to do
it, but then again, that's what I do professionally (:-). You could also do
it in VB, perl, java, probably any language that speaks web.
