Delphi HTML page scraping help. How do I extract a certain number from HTML source in delphi?
In a program I am making in delphi, I would like to be able to automatically fetch a companies revenue from this url: http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=[stock code]
For example: http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=AAPL
You can see it has the company's revenue, but I need to get just the revenue from that page. I can get all the html into a string, which you can see by right clicking and choosing view source. From a long string containing all th HTML, is it possible to extract just the revenue number?
Thanks.

I am nearly 17, and I have recently been thinking about possible careers, university etc, but I have become interested in the possibility of becoming a pilot, however I don't really know how you would even begin.
So, how would a nearly 17 year old in England begin to learn to fly?

2 AnswersOther - Music9 years agoWhen doing a power chord on a guitar, which fingers should I use?
I play guitar casually, for a bit of fun. I pretty much taught myself just playing songs I like and I was wondering if I am doing power chords right.
When I am doing a power chord on just 2 strings I always use my index finger and my little finger as it just feels easier.
Say I were doing a power chord on fret 3 of the E string, I would put my index finger on fret 3 on the E and my little finger on fret 5 on the A string. However I think most people use their ring finger instead of the little finger.
Is it just a matter of preference or should I start using my ring finger instead?

4 AnswersVideo & Online Games10 years agoBest hollow point pellets for pigeons?
I have a BSA XL Tactical air rifle in .177
I am looking into getting some hollow point pellets for killing pigeons, but I am not sure which to go with.
So what is the best hollow point pellets for .177? What are your experiences with them?
Thanks
Also: In the event I ever had to kill a wounded pigeon, what is the fastest most humane way to do it? Ive heard shoot it in the head, squeeze under its wings (collapses lungs), and just twist its head about 3 times around. Which is best?
2 AnswersHunting1 decade agoBest free roam killing game?
Call me messed up, but I want a game where you just wander around in a realistic environment and do what you want. Such as postal 2 (But with better graphics / gameplay).
Anyone know of any such game? Ive played GTA 4 and all the big games like that. Any less heard of games that are good fun?
Thanks.
P.S Please no bullshit about how games like this turn people into killers, sure maybe for some people they do, but those people are already ****** up. The point of games is that its not real, and you can do things you couldnt in real life.
4 AnswersVideo & Online Games1 decade agoShould I experiment with my friend? (both male)?
Ok, my friend and I have been messing around, saying the kind of things that make me pretty sure he wants to experiment with me. I would quite like to try it but Im not sure if it is a good idea. Im pretty sure he is properly gay, but I dont know about myself. If im anything other than straight im probably bi. I couldnt ever love a man and I am still attracted to girls as well. But I would like to mess around pureley sexually with my friend. We are both 15 and have been friends for a while. He is one of my best friend so I dont want to make it wierd between us. Im sure he wants to experiment and I do to, but Im thinking about the after effects. Would it make things wierd between us. I seem to think its a great idea and it arouses me, until I may masterbate and once I am done I think it isnt a good idea, and I would feel uncomfortable afterwards. If we did it I dont know if either of use would have an orgasm but if I did I think I would regret doing it, which is why I think its purely sexual.
So,
1. Will it make things wierd?
2. Should we not go very far, like, just touching or something?
3. Should we even do anything at all?
Thanks.
Any other information or ideas are welcome. No stupid comments please...
