Web Scraping Project Java?
Hi there,
I was wondering if somebody could show me how to get the values from this webpage...
http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1930/Jwilsh1020...
for HR vs RHP
into my java program
so how can i get just the number 29 and get it into my java program so that i can declare a variable as it. I've been trying to figure this out for days and have got nothing. Any help is appreciated.
Hey, McFate, I really appreciate your time and you are the first person that's been able to give me an answer that makes sense with ample detail. I have no idea how to do any of what you said, but I'm gonna try to learn.

Suggestions:
(1) Use HttpURLConnection to create a connection
(2) Use its method getInputStream() to obtain an InputStream; wrap that in an InputStreamReader, and that in a BufferedReader
(3) Use BufferedReader.readLine() to obtain one line at a time.
(4) When you find a line that starts with "vs RHP" then split the line on spaces and take the 8th entity
This all assumes that the layout won't change, and it's assuming the preformatted text that the page currently has (i.e., if they switch to HTML tables dumped out of Excel or something, it won't work any more). I assume that's OK.
